Capillary assembly of colloidal particles on patterned surfaces
Capillary attraction at the meniscus between tiny objects plays a crucial role in self-assembly processes. The shape of the meniscus governed by the Laplace equation devotes to a long-range attraction distinct to the DLVO defined forces. Rather than considering trapped particles on ideal smooth surf...
