Thermodynamic behavior of a 4 <i>D</i> nonminimal Maxwell-AdS black hole

Abstract In this paper, we derive a black hole solution within the Einstein–Maxwell framework incorporating a non-minimal coupling between the Ricci tensor and the Maxwell field strength tensor, using a perturbative approach. We subsequently explore the thermodynamic phase transitions of the black hole in an extended phase space, analyzing both canonical and grand canonical ensembles. Our findings reveal that the system exhibits Van der Waals–like behavior in both ensembles. Moreover, for sufficiently small values of electric charge and Maxwell potential, the thermodynamics is dominated by a Hawking–Page phase transition.
