Sessile Nanodroplets on Elliptical Patches of Enhanced Lyophilicity

[Image: see text] We theoretically investigate the shape of a nanodroplet on a lyophilic elliptical patch in lyophobic surroundings on a flat substrate. To compute the droplet equilibrium shape, we minimize its interfacial free energy using both Surface Evolver and Monte Carlo calculations, finding...
