- Description
- Within a simple real space renormalization group framework, we discuss the phase diagram of a q-state Potts ferromagnetic system constituted by two semi-infinite bulks separated by a planar interface. Quenched bond dilution has been assumed in the bulks as well as in the interface. The system exhibits percolation-like phenomena which generalize the standard d=2 and d=3 ones. Also, competition between bulk dilution (which enhances surface magnetism) and interface dilution (which depresses surface magnetism) is observed.
