Many technological
applications like inkjet printing, coating,
or cooling processes rely on the evaporation of sessile droplets.
Regarding liquid mixtures, the understanding of the underlying physics
is still incomplete and process optimization requires trial and error.
Our main goal is to establish a novel method in this field, one-dimensional
magnetic resonance microscopy, to investigate the evaporation of sessile
binary mixture droplets in the microliter range. It allows us not
only to determine the droplet volume and shape, including contact
angle, but also to measure concentration profiles with a spatial resolution
of a few micrometers. These capabilities are demonstrated for a mixture
of 1-octanol (OCT) and pentadecafluoro-1-octanol (F-OCT) by combining
spatially resolved 1H and 19F nuclear magnetic
resonance measurements. We clearly observe three evaporation regimes
for the OCT/F-OCT mixture. The first and second regimes are characterized
by the predominant evaporation of F-OCT and are separated by a depinning
event. The third regime starts when no F-OCT is left and, thus, features
the evaporation of a pure OCT droplet. During all stages, concentration
gradients perpendicular to the substrate are weak in the studied binary
droplet.
