Formation of dodecagonal quasicrystals in two-dimensional systems of patchy particles.
The behaviour of two-dimensional patchy particles with five and seven regularly arranged patches is investigated by computer simulation. For higher pressures and wider patch widths, hexagonal crystals have the lowest enthalpy, whereas at lower pressures and for narrower patches, lower density crysta...
