“…The wall separation is assumed to be L z . The model of amphiphilic Janus particle used here is essentially the same as described in earlier works. ,,, The Janus particles consist of two hemispheres; the parts named A are attractive while the parts R are repulsive. The interaction potential between two Janus particles is expressed as a sum of the hard-sphere potential, v JJ hs , and the anisotropic contribution v J J = v J J h s − v J J s w ( r 12 ) ( û 1 − û 2 ) · boldr̂ 21 where the vectors r 1 and r 2 characterize the positions of the interacting particles, r 12 = | r 12 | = | r 1 – r 2 |, boldr̂ 21 = boldr 21 / | r 21 | , and boldû 1 , boldû 2 are the unit patch orientation vectors; the vector boldû i points toward the repulsive ( R ) part of the particle i ( i = 1, 2), and the v J J s w ( r 12...…”
