| Abstract | Based on Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics computer simulations we investigate the aggregation patterns and dynamics of model colloidal mixtures consisting of particles with either one or two, oppositely oriented, induced dipole moments. The mixtures are confined to two spatial dimensions. Our model is inspired by recent optical-microscopy experiments involving polystyrene particles with (and without) gold patches. For a broad range of parameters, we find the model systems to self-assemble via a two-step scenario involving first percolation along the field, followed by a percolation transition in the transverse direction. The resulting two-dimensional networks are characterized by strongly hindered translational dynamics. |
