Abstract

The results of computer simulations of the critical behavior of three-dimensional structures described by disordered Potts models with q = 3 and q = 4 spin states are discussed. Systems with linear dimensions L = 20–60 with spin concentrations p = 1.00, 0.95, 0.90, 0.80, 0.70, and 0.65 are examined. It is found that in a three-dimensional Potts model with q = 3 spin states, introducing nonmagnetic impurities induces a second order phase transition. In a Potts model with q = 4, on the other hand, a shift from a first order phase transition to a second order phase transition is observed at high dilution (p = 0.65). Numerical values of the critical parameters are found using finite-size scaling theory and it is shown that they form a universality class corresponding to disordered systems.

Investigation of the influence of quenched nonmagnetic impurities on phase transitions in the three-dimensional Potts model

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Albert Babaevich Babaev, G. Ya. Aznaurova

The influence of quenched nonmagnetic impurities on phase transitions in the three-dimensional Potts model with the number of spin states q = 3 is investigated using the Wolff single-cluster algorithm of the Monte Carlo method. The systems with linear sizes L = 20–44 at the spin concentrations p = 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, and 0.7 are analyzed. It is demonstrated with the use of the method of fourth-order Binder cumulants that the second-order phase transition occurs in the model under consideration at the spin concentrations p = 0.9, 0.8, and 0.7 and that the first-order phase transition is observed in the pure model ( p = 1.0). The static critical exponents α (heat capacity), γ (susceptibility), β (magnetization), and ν (correlation length) are calculated in the framework of the finite-size scaling theory. The problem regarding the universality classes of the critical behavior of weakly diluted systems is discussed.

Phase transition properties of three-dimensional systems described by diluted potts model

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Albert Babaevich Babaev, G. Ya. Aznaurova

Monte Carlo simulations are performed to analyze phase transitions in three-dimensional systems described by the 3-state Potts model with nonmagnetic impurities. Numerical results are presented for systems with spin concentrations p = 1.00, 0.95, 0.90, 0.80, 0.70, and 0.65 on lattices of size L varying between 20 and 44. Binder’s cumulant analysis shows that the introduction of quenched disorder in the form of non-magnetic impurities induces a crossover from first-order to second-order phase transition. The finite-size scaling method is used to calculate the static critical exponents α, γ, β, and ν for specific heat, susceptibility, magnetization, and correlation length, respectively.

Influence of quenched nonmagnetic impurities on phase transitions in a three-dimensional diluted Potts model with spin state number q = 4

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Albert Babaevich Babaev, G. Ya. Aznaurova

The influence of quenched nonmagnetic impurities on phase transitions and critical phenomena in the 3D Potts model with the spin state number q = 4 is studied using the Monte Carlo method. Systems with the linear size L = 20–32 and spin concentrations p = 1.00, 0.90, 0.65 are considered. The fourth order Binder cumulant method is used to demonstrate that in the strongly diluted regime, a phase transition of the second kind is observed in this model for the spin concentration p = 0.65, and a phase transition of the first kind is observed for the pure ( p = 1.00) and weakly diluted ( p = 0.90) models. The theory of finite-dimensional scaling is used to calculate the static critical parameters of heat capacity α, susceptibility γ, magnetization β, and correlation radius ν.

Phase Transitions in Low-Dimensional Disordered Potts Models

Albert Babaevich Babaev, Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev

Abstract The Monte Carlo method is used to study phase transitions in disordered two-dimensional Potts models in which disorder is realized as nonmagnetic impurities. The temperature dependences of the thermodynamic parameters have been calculated for specific heat C, susceptibility χ, and fourth-order Binder cumulants in the dependence on spin concentration p. The calculations have been performed for the system with periodic boundary conditions. The systems with linear sizes L × L = N, L = 20–160 are considered. The incorporation of nonmagnetic impurities to a spin system is shown to possibly lead to a change of the first-order phase transition to a second-order phase transition. The problem of the universality classes of the critical behavior of low-dimensional diluted systems is discussed.

A Monte–Carlo method is used to study phase transitions and critical phenomena in a three-dimensional Potts model with 4 spin states and nonmagnetic impurities. Systems with linear sizes L=20–32 and spin concentrations p=1.00, 0.90, and 0.65 are studied. A fourth order Binder cumulant method is used to show that this model yields a second order phase transition for strong dilution with a spin concentration p=0.65, while the pure model (p=1.00) and the model with weak dilution (p=0.90) yield a first order phase transition. The static critical indices for the heat capacity α, susceptibility γ, magnetization β, and correlation radius ν are calculated using a finite-dimensional scaling theory.
