Abstract
A simple coupled spin model is presented to describe the phase diagram of plastic crystals. Translational and rotational degrees of freedom are associated respectively with a lattice-gaz Hamiltonian and a q-Potts Hamiltonian. A tetralinear coupling between rotations and translations is considered. Effects of adding random fields which couple solely to the Potts variables are studied.
