The Kern and Frenkel [1] patchy model is an amalgamation of the hard sphere model with attractive square well patches (HSSW). The potential has an angular aspect, given by (Eq. 1)
where the radial component is given by the square well model (Eq. 2)
and the orientational component is given by (Eq. 3)
where is the solid angle of a patch () whose axis is (see Fig. 1 of Ref. 1), forming a conical segment.
Two patches
The "two-patch" Kern and Frenkel model has been extensively studied by Sciortino and co-workers [2][3][4].
Four patches
- Main article: Anisotropic particles with tetrahedral symmetry
Single-bond-per-patch-condition
If the two parameters and fullfil the condition
then the patch cannot be involved in more than one bond.
