The presence of boundaries modifies the modes of quantum fields, which may in turn modifies the spontaneous excitation rate of accelerated atoms in interaction with these fields. In this paper, we study the effect of the presence of a reflecting boundary on the spontaneous excitation of a uniformly accelerated polarized multilevel atom interacting with quantum scalar fields in a dipole-derivative coupling scheme. We separately calculate the contributions of modified vacuum fluctuations and the radiation reaction to the spontaneous excitation rate of the atom. Our results show that the presence of the boundary modulates the excitation rate and makes it a function of the atom's distance from the boundary. When the atom is placed closer and closer to the boundary, the influence of the boundary becomes more and more drastic, with the contribution of the atom's polarization in the direction parallel to the boundary to the spontaneous excitation rate dramatically suppressed while that in the normal direction greatly enhanced.

Scalar–tensor theory of gravity with nonlinear electromagnetic field, minimally coupled to gravity is considered and static black hole solutions are obtained. Namely, power-law and Born–Infeld nonlinear Lagrangians for the electromagnetic field are examined. Since the cosmological constant is taken into account, it allowed us to investigate the so-called topological black holes. Black hole thermodynamics is studied, in particular temperature of the black holes is calculated and examined and the first law of thermodynamics is obtained with help of Wald’s approach.
