Abstract

The first-order phase transition in the three-state Potts model with long-range interactions decaying as 1/r1+σ has been examined by numerical simulations using recently proposed Luijten-Blöte algorithm. By applying scaling arguments to the interface free energy, the Binder's fourth-order cumulant, and the specific heat maximum, the change in the character of the transition through variation of parameter σ was studied.
