Self-assembly of amphiphilic peanut-shaped nanoparticles. Whitelam, S. & Bon, S., A., F. Journal of Chemical Physics, 132(7):074901, AIP Publishing, 2, 2010.
Website doi abstract bibtex We use computer simulation to investigate the self-assembly of Janus-like amphiphilic peanut-shaped nanoparticles, finding phases of clusters, bilayers, and micelles in accord with ideas of packing familiar from the study of molecular surfactants. However, packing arguments do not explain the hierarchical self-assembly dynamics that we observe, nor the coexistence of bilayers and faceted polyhedra. This coexistence suggests that experimental realizations of our model can achieve multipotent assembly of either of two competing ordered structures.
