Abstract
ABSTRACTWe present a new two dimensional model for elliptic (i.e. shape anisotropic) patchy colloids, where the impenetrable core of the particles is decorated on its (co-)vertices by Kern-Frenkel type of patches. Using (i) well-documented criteria for the overlap of the undecorated ellipses and (ii) proposing new criteria that give evidence if the patchy regions of two particles interact we perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations in the NPT ensemble. Considering elliptic particles of aspect ratios , and 6 with two patches located at the co-vertices and choosing representative values for the temperature we study on a semi-quantitative level the emerging disordered phases in terms of snapshots and radial distribution functions and present results for the equation-of-state.
