Phase Field Crystal Model of patchy colloids in two dimensionsRobert Weigel and •Michael Schmiedeberg — Institut für Theoretische Physik 1, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, 91058 Erlangen, Germany

Motivated by our recent simulation studies of quasicrystals that occur in systems of patchy colloids [1,2], we develop a Phase Field Crystal Model for such particles. We consider two-dimensional patchy colloids with symmetrically placed attractive sites on their surface, such that they interact with preferred binding angles. We construct a free energy functional that is similar to the free energy used for liquid crystals [3], but obeys the symmetry of the patchy colloids. The functional depends on both a density field and an orientation field. Free numerical minimization of the free energy yields a rich phase behavior of complex structures.
