/ Pfeifer, Joschka (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Piel, Felix (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Weitz, Lena (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Wang, Dongyu (PSI, Villigen) ; Granzin, Manuel (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Müller, Tatjana (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Bräkling, Steffen (Unlisted, CH) ; Kirkby, Jasper (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) et al.
Here we describe the design and performance of a new water cluster chemical ionization–atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer (CI-APi-TOF). The instrument selectively measures trace gases with high proton affinity such as ammonia and dimethylamine, which are important for atmospheric new particle formation and growth. [...]

Detection of dimethylamine in the low pptv range using nitrate chemical ionization atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight (CI-APi-TOF) mass spectrometry

Amines are potentially important for atmospheric new particle formation, but their concentrations are usually low with typical mixing ratios in the pptv range or even smaller. Therefore, the demand for highly sensitive gas-phase amine measurements has emerged in the last several years. [...]

Characterization of the mass-dependent transmission efficiency of a CIMS
/ Heinritzi, Martin (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Steiner, Gerhard (U. Vienna (main) ; Innsbruck U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Hansel, Armin (Innsbruck U.) ; Curtius, Joachim (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main))
Knowledge about mass discrimination effects in a chemical ionization mass spectrometer (CIMS) is crucial for quantifying, e.g., the recently discovered extremely low volatile organic compounds (ELVOCs) and other compounds for which no calibration standard exists so far. Here, we present a simple way of estimating mass discrimination effects of a nitrate-based chemical ionization atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight (CI-APi-TOF) mass spectrometer. [...]

Critical Role of Iodous Acid in Neutral Iodine Oxoacid Nucleation
/ Zhang, Rongjie ; Xie, Hong-Bin ; Ma, Fangfang ; Chen, Jingwen ; Iyer, Siddharth ; Simon, Mario ; Heinritzi, Martin ; Shen, Jiali ; Tham, Yee Jun ; Kurtén, Theo et al.
Nucleation of neutral iodine particles has recently
been found to involve both iodic acid (HIO3) and iodous acid
(HIO2). However, the precise role of HIO2 in iodine oxoacid
nucleation remains unclear. [...]

Effect of dimethylamine on the gas phase sulfuric acid concentration measured by Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry
/ Rondo, L. ; Ehrhart, S. (CERN) ; Kürten, A. (Frankfurt U.) ; Adamov, A. (Helsinki U.) ; Bianchi, F. (PSI, Villigen ; Zurich, ETH) ; Breitenlechner, M. (Innsbruck U.) ; Duplissy, J. (Helsinki U.) ; Franchin, A. (Helsinki U.) ; Dommen, J. (PSI, Villigen) ; Donahue, N.M. (Carnegie Mellon U.) et al.
Sulfuric acid is widely recognized as a very important substance driving atmospheric aerosolnucleation. Based on quantum chemical calculations it has been suggested that the quantitative detectionof gas phase sulfuric acid (H2SO4) by use of Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry (CIMS) could be biased inthe presence of gas phase amines such as dimethylamine (DMA).

Modeling the thermodynamics and kinetics of sulfuric acid-dimethylamine-water nanoparticle growth in the CLOUD chamber
/ Ahlm, L (ACES, Stockholm University) ; Yli-Juuti, T (UEF, Kuopio) ; Schobesberger, S (Helsinki U. ; Washington U., Seattle) ; Praplan, A P (Helsinki U.) ; Kim, J (UEF, Kuopio) ; Tikkanen, O -P (UEF, Kuopio ; Helsinki U.) ; Lawler, M J (UC, Irvine) ; Smith, J N (UEF, Kuopio ; UC, Irvine) ; Tröstl, J (PSI, Villigen) ; Acosta Navarro, J C (ACES, Stockholm University) et al.
Dimethylamine (DMA) has a stabilizing effect on sulfuric acid (SA) clusters, and the SA and DMA molecules and clusters likely play important roles in both aerosol particle formation and growth in the atmosphere. We use the monodisperse particle growth model for acid-base chemistry in nanoparticle growth (MABNAG) together with direct and indirect observations from the CLOUD4 and CLOUD7 experiments in the cosmics leaving outdoor droplets (CLOUD) chamber at CERN to investigate the size and composition evolution of freshly formed particles consisting of SA, DMA, and water as they grow to 20 nm in dry diameter [...]

Thermodynamics of the formation of sulfuric acid dimers in the binary (H2SO4–H2O) and ternary (H2SO4–H2O–NH3) system
/ Kürten, A (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Münch, S (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Rondo, L (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Bianchi, F (PSI, Villigen ; Zurich, ETH) ; Duplissy, J (CERN) ; Jokinen, T (Helsinki U.) ; Junninen, H (Helsinki U.) ; Sarnela, N (Helsinki U.) ; Schobesberger, S (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, M (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) et al.
Sulfuric acid is an important gas influencing atmospheric new particle formation (NPF). Both the binary $(H_2SO_4–H_2O)$ system and the ternary system involving ammonia $(H_2SO_4–H_2O–NH_3)$ may be important in the free troposphere. [...]

Iodine oxoacids enhance nucleation of sulfuric acid particles in the atmosphere
/ He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U. ; Carnegie Mellon U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Iyer, Siddharth (Tampere U. of Tech.) ; Xie, Hong-Bin (Shanghai Jiao Tong U.) ; Rörup, Birte (Helsinki U.) ; Shen, Jiali (Helsinki U.) ; Finkenzeller, Henning (Colorado U. ; Colorado U., CIRES) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Helsinki U. ; Vienna U.) ; Zhang, Rongjie (Shanghai Jiao Tong U.) ; Baccarini, Andrea (PSI, Villigen ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) et al.
The main nucleating vapor in the atmosphere is thought to be sulfuric acid (H2SO4), stabilized by ammonia (NH3). However, in marine and polar regions, NH3 is generally low, and H2SO4 is frequently found together with iodine oxoacids [HIOx, i.e., iodic acid (HIO3) and iodous acid (HIO2)]. [...]

Role of iodine oxoacids in atmospheric aerosol nucleation
/ He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U.) ; Tham, Yee Jun (Helsinki U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Wang, Mingyi (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Finkenzeller, Henning (U. Colorado, Boulder) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Iyer, Siddharth (Tampere U. of Tech.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U., FIAS) ; Kürten, Andreas (Frankfurt U., FIAS) ; Shen, Jiali (Helsinki U.) et al.
Iodic acid (HIO3) is known to form aerosol particles in coastal marine regions, but predicted nucleation and growth rates are lacking. Using the CERN CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) chamber, we find that the nucleation rates of HIO3 particles are rapid, even exceeding sulfuric acid–ammonia rates under similar conditions.

New particle formation in the sulfuric acid–dimethylamine–water system: reevaluation of CLOUD chamber measurements and comparison to an aerosol nucleation and growth model
/ Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Li, Chenxi (Minnesota U.) ; Bianchi, Federico (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Curtius, Joachim (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Dias, António (U.

Helsinki (main)) et al.
A recent CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets) chamber study showed that sulfuric acid and dimethylamine produce new aerosols very efficiently and yield particle formation rates that are compatible with boundary layer observations. These previously published new particle formation (NPF) rates are reanalyzed in the present study with an advanced method. [...]
