چکیده
In this study, we show how deposits from evaporating drops containing motile microalgae can be tuned by changing parameters of the incident light source.

Evaporating drops of alkane mixtures
Alkane mixtures are model systems where the influence of surface tension gradients during the spreading and the evaporation of wetting drops can be easily studied. The surface tension gradients are mainly induced by concentration gradients, mass diffusion being a stabilising process. Depending on the relative concentration of the mixture, a rich pattern of behaviours is obtained. keywords Movin...
متن کاملRescaling the dynamics of evaporating drops.
The dynamics of evaporation of wetting droplets is investigated experimentally in an extended range of drop sizes to provide trends relevant for a theoretical analysis. A model is proposed, which generalizes Tanner's law in the presence of evaporation. A qualitative agreement is obtained, which represents a first step toward the solution of a very old, complex problem.
متن کاملLight Scattering from Motile Bacteria
The (( Intermediate scattering function )t I(K, t ) of light scattered by motile bacteria is shown to be I(K, t ) = rn sin KVt jo T v T Ps(V) dV, (1) where Ps(V) is the distribution of swimming speeds of the bacteria. ~cattercd spectra from motile E, Coli Klz bacteria have been investigated by laser light intensity correlation spectroscopy. [Z(K, t ) ] z is obtained from the data and its angula...
متن کاملContact line deposits in an evaporating drop
Solids dispersed in a drying drop will migrate to the edge of the drop and form a solid ring. This phenomenon produces ringlike stains and occurs for a wide range of surfaces, solvents, and solutes. Here we show that the migration is caused by an outward flow within the drop that is driven by the loss of solvent by evaporation and geometrical constraint that the drop maintain an equilibrium dro...
متن کاملSelf-excited hydrothermal waves in evaporating sessile drops
Pattern formation driven by the spontaneous evaporation of sessile drops of methanol, ethanol, and FC-72 using infrared thermography is observed and, in certain cases, interpreted in terms of hydrothermal waves. Both methanol and ethanol drops exhibit thermal wave trains, whose wave number depends strongly on the liquid volatililty and substrate thermal conductivity. The FC-72 drops develop cel...
