Self Assembly of Janus Ellipsoids
  We propose a primitive model of Janus ellipsoids that represent particles with an ellipsoidal core and two semi-surfaces coded with dissimilar properties, for example, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, respectively. We investigate the effects of the aspect ratio on the self-assembly morphology and dynamical aggregation processes using Monte Carlo simulations. We also discuss certain differences between our results and those of earlier results for Janus spheres. In particular, we find that the size and structure of the aggregate can be controlled by the aspect ratio.
