Abstract:

In this paper we study pattern formation for a physical localnonlocal interaction functional where the local attractive term is given by the $1$-perimeter and the nonlocal repulsive term is the Yukawa (or screened Coulomb) potential. This model is physically interesting as it is the $\Gamma$-limit of a double Yukawa model used to explain and simulate pattern formation in colloidal systems. Following a strategy introduced in~\cite{Daneri-Runa ARMA} we prove that in a suitable regime minimizers are periodic stripes, in any space dimension.
