Anisotropy dimensions

Anisotropy dimensions is a classification scheme for patchy particles (See Figure 2 of [3]). The eight attributes are as follows:

Surface coverage (A)

Aspect ratio (B)

Faceting (C)

Pattern quantisation (D)

Branching (E)

Chemical ordering (F)

Shape gradient (G)

Roughness (H)
