Numerical Latent Heat Observation of the q=5 Potts Model

Abstract

Site energy of the five-state ferromagnetic Potts model is numerically calculated at the first-order transition temperature using corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG) method. The calculated energy of the disordered phase $U^{+}$ is clearly different from that of the ordered phase $U^{-}$. The obtained latent heat $L=U^{-}-U^{+}$ is 0.027, which quantitatively agrees with the exact solution.
