Abstract

We study the triple points and phase diagrams in the extended phase space of the charged Gauss-Bonnet black holes in -dimensional anti-de Sitter space, where the cosmological constant appears as a dynamical pressure of the system and its conjugate quantity is the thermodynamic volume of the black holes. Employing the equation of state , we demonstrate that the information of the phase transition and behavior of the Gibbs free energy are potential encoded in the () line with fixed pressure . We get the phase diagrams for the charged Gauss-Bonnet black holes with different values of the charge and dimension . The result shows that the small/large black hole phase transitions appear for any , which is reminiscent of the liquid/gas transition of a van der Waals type. Moreover, the interesting thermodynamic phenomena, i.e., the triple points and the small/intermediate/large black hole phase transitions are observed for and .
