Abstract

A computer simulation of the phase transitions in a three-dimensional weakly diluted five-state Potts model on a simple cubic lattice is performed. Calculations are carried out for spin systems with periodic boundary conditions at spin concentrations of p = 1.0 and p = 0.90. Systems with linear dimensions L × L × L = N, L = 10–80 are considered. The temperature dependences of the specific heat, susceptibility, and magnetization as a function of the linear dimensions of the studied systems are obtained. Using the fourth-order Binder cumulants and using histogram-data analysis, it is shown that the presence of weak disorder in the form of nonmagnetic impurities of the order c = 10% (c = 1 – p, p is the spin concentration) does not affect the phase transition of the first-order.
