FIG. 6.
The number of faces in a circular geometry is plotted as a function of Rnp for results from exact energy minimizing configurations (points) and the bead intercalation theory (red dotted line), and as a function of ψ for the theory (Eqs. (8), line, with δG set to unity). Snapshots from Monte Carlo simulations in which ϵ is gradually increased to 30 are shown on top, with rods colored blue and the nanoparticle in green. The rod length is nb = 6.
