/ Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U. ; U. Colorado, Boulder) ; Fischer, Lukas (Innsbruck U.) ; Ahonen, Lauri R (Helsinki U.) ; Amanatidis, Stavros (Caltech, Pasadena (main)) ; Baalbaki, Rima (Helsinki U.) ; Baccarini, Andrea (PSI, Villigen) et al.
Nucleation of atmospheric vapours produces more
than half of global cloud condensation nuclei and so has
an important influence on climate. Recent studies show
that monoterpene (C$_{10}$H$_{16}$) oxidation yields highly oxygenated products that can nucleate with or without sulfuric acid. [...]

/ Wang, Mingyi (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Chen, Dexian (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Xiao, Mao (PSI, Villigen) ; Ye, Qing (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Hofbauer, Victoria (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Ye, Penglin (Aerodyne Research, Billerica) ; Vogel, Alexander L (Frankfurt U.) ; Mauldin, Roy L (U. Colorado, Boulder ; Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon U.) et al.
To better understand the role of aromatic hydrocarbons in new-particle formation, we measured the particle-phase abundance and volatility of oxidation products following the reaction of aromatic hydrocarbons with OH radicals. For this we used thermal desorption in an iodide-adduct Time-of-Flight Chemical-Ionization Mass Spectrometer equipped with a Filter Inlet for Gases and AEROsols (FIGAERO-ToF-CIMS). [...]

Molecular understanding of new-particle formation from $\alpha$-pinene between −50 and +25 °C
/ Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Scholz, Wiebke (Innsbruck U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Fischer, Lukas (Innsbruck U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U. ; U.

Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs)
contribute substantially to the formation and growth of atmospheric aerosol particles, which affect air quality, human
health and Earth’s climate. HOMs are formed by rapid, gasphase autoxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
such as α-pinene, the most abundant monoterpene in the atmosphere. [...]

Molecular Composition and Volatility of Nucleated Particles from $\alpha$-Pinene Oxidation between −50 °C and +25 °C
/ Ye, Qing (Carnegie Mellon U. (main)) ; Wang, Mingyi (Carnegie Mellon U. (main)) ; Hofbauer, Victoria (Carnegie Mellon U. (main)) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Chen, Dexian (Carnegie Mellon U. (main)) ; Schervish, Meredith (Carnegie Mellon U.

Helsinki (main)) ; Brilke, Sophia (Vienna U.) et al.
We use a real-time temperature-programmed desorption chemical-ionization mass spectrometer (FIGAERO–CIMS) to measure particle-phase composition and volatility of nucleated particles, studying pure α-pinene oxidation over a wide temperature range (−50 °C to +25 °C) in the CLOUD chamber at CERN. Highly oxygenated organic molecules are much more abundant in particles formed at higher temperatures, shifting the compounds toward higher O/C and lower intrinsic (300 K) volatility. [...]

NO at low concentration can enhance the formation of highly oxygenated biogenic molecules in the atmosphere

The interaction between nitrogen monoxide (NO) and organic peroxy radicals (RO$_{2}$) greatly impacts the formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM), the key precursors of secondary organic aerosols. It has been thought that HOM production can be significantly suppressed by NO even at low concentrations. [...]

Chemical composition of nanoparticles from α-pinene nucleation and the influence of isoprene and relative humidity at low temperature

Colorado, Boulder) ; Müller, Tatjana (Frankfurt U. ; Mainz, Max Planck Inst.) ; Granzin, Manuel (Frankfurt U.) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon U.) ; Ataei, Farnoush (TROPOS, Leibniz) et al.
Biogenic organic precursors play an important role
in atmospheric new particle formation (NPF). One of the major precursor species is α-pinene, which upon oxidation can
form a suite of products covering a wide range of volatilities.
Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) comprise a
fraction of the oxidation products formed [...]

Highly oxidised organic vapors can effectively stabilize sulphuric acid in heteronuclear clusters and drive new-particle formation. We present quantum chemical calculations of cluster stability, showing that multifunctional species can stabilize sulphuric acid and also present additional polar functional groups for subsequent cluster growth.

Size-dependent influence of NO$_{x}$ on the growth rates of organic aerosol particles

Atmospheric new-particle formation (NPF) affects climate by contributing to a large fraction of the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) drive the early particle growth and therefore substantially influence the survival of newly formed particles to CCN. [...]

Atmospheric new-particle formation affects climate and is one of the least understood atmospheric aerosol processes. The complexity and variability of the atmosphere has hindered elucidation of the fundamental mechanism of new-particle formation from gaseous precursors. [...]
