摘　　要：In this study,the evaporation characteristics and drying patterns of various sessile ferrofluid droplets on certain substrate under horizontal magnetic fields of controlled intensities are reported.The effects of droplet concentration and magnetic field intensity on the duration of each evaporation stage and drying patterns of droplets have been systematically investigated.It turned out that a plateau appears at the initial stage of evaporation in the absence of magnetic field and it was found that the plateau value is positively correlated with the concentration of ferrofluid droplets.Under the external magnetic field,the evaporation time of droplets decreases,the stage of contact line retreat extends,the stage of late pinning mode shortens,and the deposition area of ferrofluid droplet decreases compared to that of without magnetics field.The deposition area increases gradually and becomes more uniform with the increase of magnetic field.The decrease of friction force which is due to the decrease of the number of nanoparticles at the contact line under external magnetic field is the main reason for the observed phenomena.We found that the coffee ring and the uniform deposition inside the droplet will be destroyed when the magnetic field intensity is higher than a critical value.Our work has a significant reference value for the evaporation of sessile magnetic fluid droplets under the applied magnetic field,especially when the drying pattern needs to be precisely controlled,such as in spray or biomedicine.
