<div>'''Patchy particles''' <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/nl0493500 Zhenli Zhang and Sharon C. Glotzer "Self-Assembly of Patchy Particles", Nano Letters '''4''' pp. 1407-1413 (2004)]</ref> are models designed to keep pace with the rapid advances in the field of [[colloids]]. It is now possible to synthesise or fabricate tiny particles that have a variety of shapes, composition etc. In order to simulate these structures, there is a corresponding growth in the number of [[idealised models]] being developed and studied. With a view to classifying<br />
these "patchy" models the idea of "anisotropy dimensions" has been put forward.<br />

Anisotropy dimensions is a classification scheme for patchy particles <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nmat1949 Sharon C. Glotzer and Michael J. Solomon "Anisotropy of building blocks and their assembly into complex structures", Nature Materials '''6''' pp. 557-562 (2007)]</ref>.<br />
The eight attributes are as follows:<br />
