Abstract
Two-phase transition branches of the Euler-Heisenberg (EH) anti--de Sitter (AdS) black hole (BH) were derived from its phase transition critical behavior by Magos et al.. [Phys. Rev. D 102, 084011 (2020)]. We found that the phase transition is unstable. Considering the high-order quantum electrodynamics (QED) correction, we rederive the EHAdS BH solution and investigate its critical thermodynamic quantities. It is found that the corrected EHAdS BH has only one stable phase transition branch, and its critical exponents are equivalent to that of the van der Waals system. From the microscopic point of view, we also derive its normalized scalar curvature based on the Ruppeiner geometry. Different from two concave surfaces of the scalar curvature without considering the high-order QED correction, we show that the corrected Ruppeiner geometry has only one concave surface. Our results indicate that the phase transition instability derived by Magos et al. is due to without considering the high-order QED correction.
