Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of Hawking radiation as a tunneling of charged fermions through event horizons of a pair of charged accelerating and rotating black holes with NUT parameter. We evaluate tunneling probabilities of outgoing charged particles by using the semiclassical WKB approximation to the general covariant Dirac equation. The Hawking temperature corresponding to this pair of black holes is also investigated. For the zero NUT parameter, we find results consistent with those already available in the literature.
