1201.6256 (Riccardo Fantoni)

A cluster theory for a Janus fluid    [PDF]

Riccardo Fantoni
Recent Monte Carlo simulations on the Kern and Frenkel model of a Janus fluid
have revealed that in the vapour phase there is the formation of preferred
clusters made up of a well-defined number of particles: the micelles and the
vesicles. A cluster theory is developed to approximate the exact clustering
properties stemming from the simulations. It is shown that the theory is able
to reproduce the micellisation phenomenon.
