Assembly of One-Patch Colloids into Clusters via Emulsion Droplet Evaporation

We study the cluster structures of one-patch colloidal particles generated by droplet evaporation using Monte Carlo simulations. The addition of anisotropic patch–patch interaction between the colloids produces different cluster configurations. We find a well-defined category of sphere packing struc...
