Motion of nanodroplets near edges and wedges — A. Moosavi^1,2, •M. Rauscher^1,2, and S. Dietrich^1,2 — ¹Max-Planck-Institut für Metallforschung, Heisenbergstr. 3, 70569 Stuttgart — ²Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57, 70569 Stuttgart

Nanodroplets residing near wedges or edges of solid substrates exhibit a disjoining pressure induced dynamics. Our nanoscale hydrodynamic calculations reveal that non-volatile droplets are attracted or repelled from edges or wedges depending on details of the corresponding laterally varying disjoining pressure generated, e.g., by a possible surface coating.
