Abstract

The influence of a weak disorder in the form of quenched nonmagnetic impurities on the phase transitions (PTs) in a three-dimensional 5-state Potts model is studied using the cluster Wolff algorithm of the Monte Carlo method. Systems with linear sizes L = 10–120 at spin concentrations p = 1.00 and 0.80 are considered. Using the fourth-order Binder cumulant method and histogram analysis, we show that the introduction of a weak quenched disorder (p = 0.80) in the form of nonmagnetic impurities changes a first-order PT into a second-order PT.
