Tricritical point of the three-dimensional Potts model (q = 4) with quenched nonmagnetic disorder

Abstract

The effect of quenched nonmagnetic impurities on the phase transitions in the three-dimensional Potts model with the number of spin states q = 4 for the case of the simple cubic lattice is studied using the Monte Carlo method. The phase transitions in this model are studied for spin density p ranging from 1.0 to 0.70. The position of the tricritical point at the phase diagram is determined.
