Fig. 4: Pair interaction energy of triblock particles in the ICi (full lines) and CSp (dashed lines) models.
From: Anisotropic DLVO-like interaction for charge patchiness in colloids and proteins
The particles are in contact, ρ/R = 2, and we vary a screening (κR), b patch size (\(\bar{a}\)), and c net particle charge (η). Parameter values, when not varied, are κR = 3, \(\bar{a}=0.5\), and η = 0. d–i Comparison of interaction energies in the two models at specific particle orientations between two particles (EP, PP, and sEP; cf. Fig. 2) with (d–f) changing screening and (g–i) changing net particle charge. Dotted vertical lines in panels (d–f) highlight the values of the corresponding parameters in panels (a) and (c).
