Abstract
An aluminum (Al) film system deposited on silicone oil drop surfaces by thermal evaporation method has been fabricated. A characteristic ordered pattern, namely, band, is observed in the continuous Al film system. Each band is composed of a large number of parallel key-shaped domains, which formed naturally during the deposition. It is found that these bands develop along the circumference of the silicone oil substrates and the length of the key-shaped domains show a marked dependence on the liquid expanding speed and other deposition conditions.
