The phase behavior and associated pattern formation of two-dimensional systems of hard disks decorated with amphiphilic coronae (Janus disks) are studied by means of Monte Carlo computer simulations. A primitive interaction potential that captures the essential interparticle interactions is introduced. Despite its simplicity, the system exhibits a very rich phase polymorphism. Apart from the isotropic phase and depending upon the coronal thickness, the simulated systems self-organize in a number of two-dimensional mesophases of various symmetries exhibiting a variety of novel patterns. The results of these simulations suggest that 2D Janus particles are promising candidates for bottom-up design of precise two-dimensional templates.
