Large scale numerical simulation of the three-state Potts model
Abstract
The three-state Potts model is numerically investigated on three-dimensional simple cubic lattices of up to \(1283\) volume, concentrating on the neighborhood of the first-order phase transition separating the ordered and disordered phases. The ordered phase is found to allow admixture of disordered domains induced by a long-range attraction acting between the two different non-favored spins. This phenomenon gives an explanation of why the first-order phase transitions associated with the global \(Z3\) symmetry are so weak.
