Abstract
Abstract The phase transitions in the two-dimensional diluted Potts model with the number of spin states q = 3 are studied by computer simulation method. The systems with linear sizes L × L = N, L = 10–160 at spin concentrations p = 1.00, 0.80 are considered. The obtained numerical data show that the second-order phase transition takes place in the pure Potts model with the number of spin states q = 3, according to the theory. The introduction of a disorder in the form of nonmagnetic impurities (p = 0.80) in the Potts model with q = 3 conserves the second-order phase transition.
