Evaporating drops containing nanoparticles is a simple way to deposit nanoparticle coatings: the result is however typically inhomogeneous. In this talk, we propose a phase diagram explaining the structure of nanoparticle deposits and predicting three common types of deposits, such as a peripheral ring, a central bump, and a uniform coating.
