Patchy particles [1] are models designed to keep pace with the rapid advances in the field of colloids. It is now possible to synthesise or fabricate tiny particles that have a variety of shapes, composition etc. In order to simulate these structures, there is a corresponding growth in the number of idealised models being developed and studied. With a view to classifying these "patchy" models the idea of "anisotropy dimensions" has been put forward.
Taxonomy: anisotropy dimensions[edit]
Anisotropy dimensions is a classification scheme for patchy particles [2]. The eight attributes are as follows:
Surface coverage (A)[edit]
Aspect ratio (B)[edit]
Faceting (C)[edit]
Pattern quantisation (D)[edit]
Branching (E)[edit]
Chemical ordering (F)[edit]
Shape gradient (G)[edit]
Roughness (H)[edit]
Models[edit]
- Bol model of water
- Dahl and Andersen model of water
- Inverse patchy colloids
- Kern and Frenkel patchy model
- Modulated patchy Lennard-Jones model
- Smith and Nezbeda associated fluid model
- Laponite
See also[edit]
- Colloids
- Emulsions
- Janus particles
- Phase diagram of anisotropic particles with octahedral symmetry
- Anisotropic particles with tetrahedral symmetry
- Wertheim's first order thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPT1)
- Multi-patch RTPT-CF
