Using extensive Monte Carlo simulations, transfer matrix techniques and con
formal invariance, ferromagnetic random q-state Potts models for 3 less tha
n or equal to q less than or equal to 8 are studied in the vicinity of the
critical temperature. In particular the surface and bulk magnetization expo
nents beta(1) and beta are found monotonically increasing with q. At the cr
itical temperature, different moments (n) of the magnetization profiles are
calculated which are all found to accurately follow predictions of conform
al invariance. The critical correlation functions show multifractal behavio
ur, the decay exponents of the different moments both in the volume and at
the surface, are n-dependent.
