The patterns comprised different parts whose presence changed with the experimental constraints in a mode-like fashion. In experiments, we studied this previously unknown phenomenon and derived model assumptions for its emergence. We identified aerosol micro-flow and geometric confinement as the mechanism behind the mass transfer and the cause of the concentric patterns. We validated our model using a simulation.en#PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE#Applied Sciences Switzerland20197AerosolBio-printingConfinementDeposition patternsLIFTTechnology::600: TechnologySpatial modes of laser-induced mass transfer in micro-gapsJournal Article10.3390/app9071303Journal Article
