Abstract
The first-order phase transition in the one-dimensional q-state Potts model with long-range interactions decaying with distance as 1/r 1+σ , has been studied by Monte Carlo numerical simulations for 0 < σ ≤ 1 and integer values of q > 2. On the basis of thefinite-size scaling analysis of interface free energy ∆FL, specific heat and Binder’s fourth order cumulant, we obtain the first-order transition which occurs for σ below a threshold value σc (q ).
