Abstract: We applied the simulated tempering and magnetizing (STM) method to the two-dimensional three-state Potts model in an external magnetic field in order to perform further investigations of the STM's applicability. The temperature as well as the external field are treated as dynamical variables updated during the STM simulations. After we obtained adequate information for several lattice sizes $L$ (up to $160imes160$), we also performed a number of conventional canonical simulations of large lattices, especially in order to illustrate the crossover behavior of the Potts model in external field with increasing $L$. The temperature and external field for larger lattice size simulations were chosen by extrapolation of the detail information obtained by STM. We carefully analyzed the crossover scaling at the phase transitions with respect to the lattice size as well as the temperature and external field. The crossover behavior is clearly observed in the simulations in agreement with theoretical predictions.
