%0 Journal Article %T Perturbative Metric of Charged Black Holes in Quadratic Gravity %A M. Campanelli %A C. O. Lousto %A J. Audretsch %J Physics %D 1994 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.51.6810 %X We consider perturbative solutions to the classical field equations coming from a quadratic gravitational lagrangian in four dimensions. We study the charged, spherically symmetric black hole and explicitly give corrections up to third order (in the coupling constant $\beta$ multiplying the $R_{\mu\nu}R^{\mu\nu}$ term) to the Reissner--Nordstr\"om hole metric. We consider the thermodynamics of such black holes, in particular, we compute explicitly its temperature and entropy--area relation which deviates from the usual $S=A/4$ expression. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9412001v1
