Abstract

The effect of quenched non-magnetic impurities on phase transitions in low-dimensional Potts model structures is investigated by the Monte Carlo method using a cluster algorithm. Systems with linear dimensions of L = 20–160 and spin concentrations of p = 1.0, 0.9 are considered. Using the fourth-order Binder cumulant method and the histogram-data analysis method, the introduction of weak quenched disorder (p = 0.9) in the form of non-magnetic impurities is shown to change the order of the phase transition from the first to the second.
