Formation mechanism of hierarchical structure of crystal morphology in a sessile droplet

Crystal patterns formed by evaporation play important roles in industrial technologies. Recently, it was found that a concentric pattern and an orchid pattern may be seen when a pinned sessile droplet dries. Due to complex coupling between evaporation and crystallization, the mechanism behind this u...
