Abstract
Abstract We study the effect of bond dilution of a dodecahedron spin model on ferromagnetic square lattice. The dodecahedron spin constitutes a discrete (polyhedral) counterpart of the continuous Heisenberg spin. Previous work found that, in the absence of dilution, the ferromagnetic dodecahedron system exhibits a finite temperature phase transition. We use Monte Carlo simulation with Wolff cluster algorithm to monitor how phase transitions are impacted by the bond dilution. We simulate the model with various bond concentrations and investigate the resulting phase diagram and critical behavior.
