Abstract
We use Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the behavior of Janus spheres confined between two parallel surfaces. Janus particles are composed of attractive and repulsive parts. The slits with id...

We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations of amphiphilic Janus particles confined between two solid surfaces
Summary
Self-assembly of Janus particles (JPs) has aroused great interest due to its applications in developing new materials. A variety of interaction models have been used in theoretical approaches.[7−11] In several works,[7,8] the interactions have been taken into account via an effective anisotropic potential involving the orientation vectors defined by the symmetry axis of the spheres. Another class of models treats Janus spheres as patchy particles decorated with domains on the surfaces exerting attractive forces.[9,10] Among the latter, the one-patch model proposed by Kern and Frenkel[9] seems to be the most popular
