“…In this respect, Janus particles (JPs) with two different domains on their surfaces represent an important field of research. Numerous experimental studies of JPs have been complemented by a range of theoretical works devoted to the analysis of self-assembled structures and phase diagrams. − …”

“…Rosenthal et al have studied the aggregation of amphiphilic Janus particles in bulk phases and shown that an increase in the system density causes the formation of different aggregates, from spherical micelles, through icosahedrons to huge elongated structures. The recent simulations have suggested a simple route toward 2D crystals via the direct self-assembly of 3D systems of amphiphilic JPs that spontaneously formed ordered bilayered lamellae. Within each layer of the bilayered lamellae, abundant highly ordered 2D crystals including the Frank–Kasper phases and open kagome lattice were observed …”

We use Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the behavior of Janus spheres composed of attractive and repulsive parts confined between two parallel solid surfaces. The slits with identical and competing walls are studied. The adsorption isotherms of Janus particles are determined, and the impact of the density in the pore on the morphology is discussed in detail. So far, this issue has not been systematically investigated. New, unique structures are observed along the isotherms, including the bilayer and three-layer structures located at different distances from the walls. We analyze how selected parameters affect the positional and orientational ordering in these layers. In some cases, the particles form highly ordered hexagonal lattices.
