It is now possible to synthesise or fabricate tiny particles that have a variety of shapes, composition etc. In order to simulate these structures, there is a corresponding growth in the number of [[idealised models]] being developed and studied. With a view to classifying

these "patchy" models the idea of "anisotropy dimensions" has been put forward.
