Fluids of spherical molecules with dipolar-like nonuniform adhesion. An analytically solvable anisotropic model
Domenico Gazzillo, Riccardo Fantoni, Achille Giacometti
We consider an anisotropic version of Baxter's model of `sticky hard spheres', where a nonuniform adhesion is implemented by adding, to an isotropic surface attraction, an appropri…

Patchy sticky hard spheres: analytical study and Monte Carlo simulations
Riccardo Fantoni, Domenico Gazzillo, Achille Giacometti +2
We consider a fluid of hard spheres bearing one or two uniform circular adhesive patches, distributed so as not to overlap. Two spheres interact via a ``sticky'' Baxter potential i…
