Abstract
The morphology of photonic-crystal structures formed by the self-assembly of fluorescent marker nanoparticles from evaporating droplets of a binary water-glycerol solvent, the components of which differ appreciably from each other in the viscosity and evaporation rate, being infinitely mutually soluble under normal conditions, was has been studied experimentally for the first time. It has been shown that the main self-assembly disordering factor is Marangoni vortex flows, and the change in the initial concentration ratio between binary mixture components enables the control over the degree of disordering in the solid phase, which is formed after the solvent is evaporated from a droplet and distributed over the substrate. A low initial concentration of any component corresponds to the most ordered distribution, whereas their medium concentrations correspond to the most disordered distribution. The characteristic values of Marangoni numbers in experiments have been calculated. It has been demonstrated that the average radius of the distribution of an ensemble of marker particles over a substrate may serve as a descriptor for the degree of ordering.
