/ He, Xu-Cheng (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Iyer, Siddharth (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Sipilä, Mikko (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Ylisirniö, Arttu (UEF, Kuopio) ; Peltola, Maija (Helsinki U.) ; Kontkanen, Jenni (Helsinki U.) ; Baalbaki, Rima (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tham, Yee Jun (Helsinki U.) et al.
Ions enhance the formation rate of atmospheric aerosol particles, which play an important role in Earth’s radiative balance. Ion-induced nucleation involves the stepwise accretion of neutral monomers onto a molecular cluster containing an ion, which helps to stabilize the cluster against evaporation. [...]

A major fraction of atmospheric aerosol particles, which affect both air quality and climate, form from gaseous precursors in the atmosphere. Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs), formed by oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds, are known to participate in particle formation and growth. [...]

Atmospheric aerosols and their effect on clouds are thought to be important for anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate, yet remain poorly understood. Globally, around half of cloud condensation nuclei originate from nucleation of atmospheric vapours. [...]

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. [...]

Hygroscopicity of nanoparticles produced from homogeneous nucleation in the CLOUD experiments
/ Kim, J (UEF, Kuopio) ; Ahlm, L (Stockholm U.) ; Yli-Juuti, T (UEF, Kuopio) ; Lawler, M (UEF, Kuopio ; NCAR, Boulder) ; Keskinen, H (UEF, Kuopio) ; Tröstl, J (PSI, Villigen) ; Schobesberger, S (Helsinki U.) ; Duplissy, J (Helsinki U.) ; Amorim, A (Lisbon, CENTRA) ; Bianchi, F (PSI, Villigen ; Zurich, ETH) et al.
Sulfuric acid, amines and oxidized organics have been found to be important compounds in the nucleation and initial growth of atmospheric particles. Because of the challenges involved in determining the chemical composition of objects with very small mass, however, the properties of the freshly nucleated particles and the detailed pathways of their formation processes are still not clear.

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. [...]

Evolution of particle composition in CLOUD nucleation experiments

Sulphuric acid, ammonia, amines, and oxidised organics play a crucial role in nanoparticle formation in the atmosphere. In this study, we investigate the composition of nucleated nanoparticles formed from these compounds in the CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) chamber experiments at CERN (Centre europ ́ een pour la recherche nucl ́ eaire).

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 [...]

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.
