The decay of false vacuum via the true vacuum bubble nucleation has been explored in Einstein theories of gravity with nonminimally-coupled scalar field using Coleman–De Luccia's semiclassical instanton approximation. In this case the false vacuum decay rates and the radius of the bubbles in Coleman's thin-wall approximation have been computed analytically and numerically with several values of nonminimal coupling constant and compared with the standard result obtained by Coleman–De Luccia in the context of scalar field minimally-coupled to Einstein gravity.
