Drying a liquid (e.g. water) drop containing uniformly dispersed microscopic particles results in the particles’ migration towards the edges of the drop; after the drop evaporates the suspended particles remain concentrated around the original drop edge. This so-called “coffee-ring” effect does not depend on the nature of the solvent or the solute [1]; thus it is ubiquitous in nature and challenging to avoid. However, in many applications such as inkjet printing, coating and many other biological processes, there is need to suppress and control the coffee-ring effect due to the requirement of uniform deposition of the suspended particles. Such approaches include changing the shape of the particulate suspension [2], using acoustic waves [3], or adding hydrosoluble polymer during the evaporation [4]. In this work, we investigate the evaporation of liquid droplets containing passive and active particles under random optical potentials. In particular, we experimentally show that while drops of a suspension of 3-μm diameter polystyrene particles show typical coffee-ring when no optical potentials are applied, they form uniform distribution, suppressing the coffee-ring formation when a random optical potential is present.

Suppression of coffee-ring effect in random optical potentials Yardımcı, Merve Yağmur; Bek, Alpan; Department of Physics (2017) Drying a liquid (e.g. water) drop containing uniformly dispersed microscopic particles results in the particles’ migration towards the edges of the drop; after the drop evaporates the suspended particles remain concentrated around the original drop edge. This so-called “coffee-ring” effect does not depend on the nature of the solvent or the solute; thus it is ubiquitous in nature and challenging to avoid.

Modelling of Diffusion in Random Packings of Core-Shell Particles Hatipoğlu, Emre; Koku, Harun (Hacettepe University, 2017-04-01) Core-Shell particles are commonly used materials in chromatography. In this study, a mathematical model that mimics diffusion around Core-Shell particles was developed. A random-walk based algorithm was implemented to simulate diffusion and a Core-Shell particle geometry was computationally formed, based on simple geometric constructs and relations. Diffusion simulations were carried out on a randomly packed geometry formed from these particles. The behavior of time-dependent diffusivity data obtained from ...
Deposition of AgGaS2 thin films by double source thermal evaporation technique KARAAĞAÇ, HAKAN; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-09-01) In this study, polycrystalline AgGaS2 thin films were deposited by the sequential evaporation of AgGaS2 and Ag sources with thermal evaporation technique. Thermal treatment in nitrogen atmosphere for 5 min up to 700 A degrees C was applied to the deposited thin films and that resulted in the mono phase AgGaS2 thin films without the participation of any other minor phase. Structural and compositional analyses showed the structure of the films completely changes with annealing process. The measurements of tra...
Thermal stimulation of aqueous volumes contained in carbon nanotubes: Experiment and modeling Yarin, AL; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Megaridis, CM (2005-01-01) The dynamic response, as caused by thermal stimulation, of aqueous liquid attoliter volumes contained inside multiwall carbon nanotubes is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The experiments indicate an energetically driven mechanism responsible for the dynamic multiphase fluid behavior visualized under high resolution in the transmission electron microscope. The theoretical model is formulated using a continuum approach, which combines temperature-dependent diffusion with intermolecular interact...
Performance comparison of filtering methods on modelling and forecasting the total precipitation amount: a case study for Mugla in Turkey NESLİHANOĞLU, SERDAR; ÜNAL, ECEM; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan (2021-03-01) Condensed water vapor in the atmosphere is observed as precipitation whenever moist air rises sufficiently enough to produce saturation, condensation, and the growth of precipitation particles. It is hard to measure the amount and concentration of total precipitation over time due to the changes in the amount of precipitation and the variability of climate. As a result of these, the modelling and forecasting of precipitation amount is challenging. For this reason, this study compares forecasting performance...
