Abstract:We investigated photomolecular-induced evaporation, wherein photons cleave off water clusters near water–vapor interfaces, bypassing the typical thermal evaporation process. However, thermal-induced evaporation is the main bottleneck to precisely identify photon-induced evaporation. Liquid drop interferometry (LDI) resolved this bottleneck, utilizing evaporating water drops as an active element. Interestingly, we first observed near-total internal reflection, a nonlinear increase in evaporation attributed to p… Show more
