Abstract:Fluid instabilities can be harnessed for facile selfassembly of patterned structures on the nano-and microscale. Evaporative self-assembly from drops is one simple technique that enables a range of patterning behaviors due to the multitude of fluid instabilities that arise due to the simultaneous existence of temperature and solutal gradients. However, the method suffers from limited controllability over patterns that can arise and their morphology. Here, we demonstrate that a range of distinct crystalline pat… Show more
