ABSTRACT
We propose a primitive model of Janus ellipsoids that represents particles with an ellipsoidal core and two semisurfaces coded with dissimilar properties, for example, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, respectively. We investigate the effects of the aspect ratio on the self-assembly morphology and 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.
