Abstract

Charge-dependent scalarization of the Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg (EEH) black hole is carried out in the EEH-scalar theory by introducing an exponential scalar coupling with α\alpha coupling constant to the Maxwell and nonlinear electrodynamic terms. The bald black hole (EEHBH) is described by mass MM and arbitrary magnetic charge qq and has a single horizon when choosing the action parameter μ=0.3\mu=0.3. The spontaneous scalarization (α+\alpha^+) of this black hole is available for charge 0<q<qc=1.1150<q< q_c=1.115 and positive α\alpha, whereas its new scalarization (α\alpha^-) occurs for q>qcq> q_c and negative α\alpha. The former case of q=0.5q=0.5 implies infinite branches of scalarized EEHBHs but its fundamental branch (n=0n=0) is stable against radial perturbations, while the latter cases of q=2,20q=2,20 show two stable single branches of scalarized EEHBHs.
