A numerical study of one-patch colloidal particles: from square-well to Janus
, 2010 We perform numerical simulations of a simple model of one-patch colloidal particles to investigate: (i) the behavior of the gas-liquid phase diagram on moving from a spherical attractive potential to a Janus potential and (ii) the collective structure of

Self-assembly of active amphiphilic Janus particles
New Journal of Physics, 2017 In this article, we study the phenomenology of a two dimensional dilute suspension of active amphiphilic Janus particles. We analyze how the morphology of the aggregates emerging from their self-assembly depends on the strength and the direction of the ...

Critical Casimir interactions between Janus particles
Soft Matter, 2016 Recently there is strong experimental and theoretical interest in studying the self-assembly and the phase behavior of patchy and of Janus particles, which form colloidal suspensions. Although in this quest a variety of effective interactions have been proposed and used in order to achieve directed assembly, the critical Casimir effect stands out as ...

Phase diagrams of Janus fluids with up-down constrained orientations
, 2013 A class of binary mixtures of Janus fluids formed by colloidal spheres with the hydrophobic hemispheres constrained to point either up or down are studied by means of Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulations and simple analytical approximations.
