Abstract

In this paper we study pattern formation for a physical local/nonlocal interaction functional where the local attractive term is given by the 11-perimeter and the nonlocal repulsive term is the Yukawa (or screened Coulomb) potential. This model is physically interesting as it is the Γ\Gamma-limit of a double Yukawa model used to explain and simulate pattern formation in colloidal systems \cite{BBCH,CCA,IR,GCLW}. Following a strategy introduced in~\cite{DR} we prove that in a suitable regime minimizers are periodic stripes, in any space dimension.
