Editing Anisotropic particles with tetrahedral symmetry

The phase diagram of tetrahedral, patchy particles <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jp9081905 F. Romano, E. Sanz and F. Sciortino  "Role of the Range in  the Fluid−Crystal Coexistence for a 
Patchy Particle Model", J. Phys. Chem. B '''113''' pp. 15133–15136 (2009)]</ref>
exhibits the following solid phases: Diamond Crystal,
Body Centered Cubic and Face Centered Cubic. The gas-liquid critical point becomes metastable with respect
to the Diamond Crystal when the range of the interaction becomes short (roughly less than 15% of the 
diameter).  Interestingly, and differently from the isotropic case, the supersaturation of the fluid at the critical point does not significantly increase upon going toward the adhesive (vanishing interaction range) limit.

-Tetrahedral Kern-Frenkel patchy particles crystallise spontaneously into open tetrahedral networks for narrow patches (solid angle < 30). The interaction range does not play an important role in crystallisation <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3578182 Flavio Romano, Eduardo Sanz, and Francesco Sciortino "Crystallization of tetrahedral patchy particles in silico", Journal of Chemical Physics '''134''' 174502 (2011)]</ref>
