Resumen:
We consider a system of particles constrained to move on the surface of a sphere with radii ranging from 4 to 100molecular diameters. The particles interact via a long-range spherically symmetric pair potential. Results fromMonte Carlo simulations of this quasi-two-dimensional finite system show clusters and different molecularpattern formation at different surface densities and temperatures. We compare this promising approach withprevious results from an infinite bidimensional system with short-range attractive and long-range repulsiveparticle interactions.
