BROWNIAN DIFFUSION OF NANOPARTICLES IN A SPHERICAL DROPLET OF VARIABLE RADIUS
Abstract
The influence of Brownian diffusion on the distribution of nanoparticles in an evaporating or growing micron droplet is considered. It is shown that there are possibilities for emerging a spatially non-uniform state of the nanoparticles in the droplet.
