Amphiphilic Janus Particles Confined in Symmetrical and Janus-Like Slits

[Image: see text] We use Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the behavior of Janus spheres composed of attractive and repulsive parts confined between two parallel solid surfaces. The slits with identical and competing walls are studied. The adsorption isotherms of Janus particles are determined, and the impact of the density in the pore on the morphology is discussed in detail. So far, this issue has not been systematically investigated. New, unique structures are observed along the isotherms, including the bilayer and three-layer structures located at different distances from the walls. We analyze how selected parameters affect the positional and orientational ordering in these layers. In some cases, the particles form highly ordered hexagonal lattices.
