We rediscuss the entropy of a charged dilaton-axion black hole for both the asymptotically flat and non-flat cases by using the thin film brick-wall model. This improved method avoids some drawbacks in the original brick-wall method such as the small mass approximation, neglecting the logarithm term, and taking the term L 3 as the contribution of the vacuum surrounding the black hole. The entropy we obtain turns out to be proportional to the horizon area of the black hole, conforming to the Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy formula for black holes.
Using the generalized uncertainty principle, we calculate the entropy of the charged dilaton-axion black hole for both asymptotically flat and non-flat cases by counting degrees of freedom near the horizon. The divergence of density of states and free energy appearing in the thin film brick-wall model is removed without any cutoff. The entropy proportional to the horizon area is derived from the contribution of the vicinity of the horizon.
