In the case of confined (small) systems interfacial energies can contribute significantly to the overall system energy and thus affect or even dominate the system behavior. Well-known examples for these cases are nucleation and growth processes or the wetting/dewetting behaviour of thin films. We will present and analyze new experimental results on the nucleation and growth of aggregates of C60 (fullerenes) on nanostructured planar substrates and on the bubble formation initiated by an individual, localized nano size active nucleation site (a platinum nanoparticle catalyzing O2 from a H2O2 solution). In the context of the nucleation/precipitation studies we will analyze shortly the physics of spin casting as one of our main experimental techniques. With macroscopic sessile droplets we will analyze how local surface tension gradients and the resulting surface (Marangoni) flows affect the evaporation of individual droplets and the drop/drop-coalescence behavior including cases with reacting liquids.
