Thermal hysteresis in wettability and the Leidenfrost phenomenon
The Leidenfrost temperature (T_{L}), at which the liquid drop lifetime peaks on a superheated surface, is believed to be wettability dependent. Here, we show that the wettability effect on T_{L} is subject to the history of the surface temperature. Observing a water drop evaporating on a polished st...
