We numerically study the phase behavior of colloidal particles with two charged patches at the poles and an oppositely charged equatorial belt. Interactions between particles are described using the inverse patchy colloid model, where the term inverse emphasizes the difference with respect to conventional patchy particles: as a consequence of the heterogeneous charge distribution, the patches on the particle surface repel each other, whereas the patches and non-patch regions mutually attract. For the model parameters considered in this work, the system exhibits an unusual equilibrium phase diagram characterized by a broad region where a novel structure composed of parallel colloidal monolayers is stable.
