Abstract
Phase transitions in the two-dimensional ferromagnetic Potts model with the number of spin states q = 3 on a triangular lattice were studied using Monte-Carlo method. The systems of linear size L = 20–120 were considered. Using the method of the fourth-order Binder cumulants, it was demonstrated that the second order phase transition is observed in the two-dimensional ferromagnetic Potts model. The static critical exponents for the heat capacity α, susceptibility γ, magnetization β and correlation radius ν were calculated based on the finite-dimensional scaling theory.
