Abstract
The author uses transfer matrices to calculate the free energy and various thermodynamic quantities of the two- and three-state Potts models with random bond interactions at the critical temperature. He verifies the Harris criterion for the three-state Potts model and estimates the new random critical exponents. For the Ising case, the results are consistent with randomness being irrelevant for the critical behaviour.
