Nanoparticle deposits near the contact line of pinned volatile droplets: size and shape revealed by atomic force microscopy

We report on the structure of ring deposits formed following the free evaporation of a sessile droplet containing nanoparticles. The nanostructure of the evaporatively formed deposits was revealed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The structures were found to form a peak about 5 microns wide and...
