Investigation of the critical behavior of the three-dimensional weakly diluted Potts model

The static critical behavior of the three-dimensional weakly diluted Potts model with the state q = 3 on a simple cubic lattice has been investigated by the Monte Carlo method using the Wolff single-cluster algorithm. It is shown that at the spin concentrations p = 0.9 and 0.8 a second-order phase transition is observed in the three-dimensional weakly diluted Potts model with the state q = 3. On the basis of the finite-size scaling theory, we calculated the static critical exponents of the specific heat α, susceptibility γ, magnetization β, and the correlation-length exponent v.
