Using multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations, we have calculated the interface free energy between the coexisting ordered and disordered phase at the temperature driven first-order phase transition of the two-dimensional 7-state Potts model. Our result 2f3= 0.0241±0.0010 is about an order of magnitude smaller than other estimates in the recent literature. We discuss the differences in analysis and give a possible explanation for the discrepancy. Finally, we briefly mention similar investigations at the deconfining phase transition of SU(3) lattice gauge theory.

We investigated the influence of the distribution of bimodal bonds on phase transition in 8-state Potts model in two dimensions. We show that there is a finite size dependent threshold value of the introduced quenched randomness in the bond distribution for rounding the first-order phase transition.
