摘      要：Working with a biased atomic force microscope(AFM)tip in the tapping mode under ambient atmosphere,attoliter(10^(-18) L)water droplet patterns have been generated on a patterned carbonaceous *** is essentially electrocondensation of water leading to charged droplets,as evidenced from electrostatic force microscopy *** droplets are unusual in that they exhibit a highly corrugated surface and evaporate rather slowly,taking several tens of minutes.
