Abstract
Finite size effects on the phase transition in the 2D Potts model with open boundary conditions are studied with Wang–Landau Monte Carlo simulations. We show the lattice size dependent cross-over from first order to continuous phase transition and discuss it in terms of surface induced disorder and size dependence of the latent heat.
