Since its introduction, the Potts model has gained widespread popularity
across various fields due to its diverse applications. Even minor advancements
in this model continue to captivate scientists worldwide, and small
modifications often intrigue researchers from different disciplines. This paper
investigates a one-dimensional \(q\)-state modified Potts model influenced by
an external magnetic field. By leveraging the transfer matrix method, exact
expressions are derived for key thermodynamic quantities, including free
energy, entropy, magnetization, susceptibility, and specific heat capacity.
Numerical analyses explore how these thermodynamic functions vary with relevant
parameters, offering insights into the system’s behavior. Additionally, the
asymptotic properties of these quantities are examined in the limiting cases
\(T \to 0\) and \(T \to \infty\). The findings contribute to a deeper
understanding of the model’s thermodynamic characteristics and highlight its
potential applications across various disciplines.
