Abstract
We have used laser-based luminescence measurements to follow the temperature of an evaporating waterdrop (~ 1 mm diameter) as it compresses a monolayer of octadecanol. Our results indicate that the specific resistance to evaporation (water accommodation coefficient) of the monolayer changes slowly over periods of minutes.
