/ Franchin, Alessandro (Helsinki U.) ; Downard, Andy (Caltech, Pasadena (main)) ; Kangasluoma, Juha (Helsinki U.) ; Nieminen, Tuomo (Helsinki U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys. ; UEF, Kuopio) ; Lehtipalo, Katrianne (Helsinki U. ; Airmodus Ltd, Helsinki) ; Steiner, Gerhard (U. Vienna (main) ; Innsbruck U.) ; Manninen, Hanna E (Helsinki U.) ; Petäjä, Tuukka (Helsinki U.) ; Flagan, Richard C (Caltech, Pasadena (main)) ; Kulmala, Markku (Helsinki U.)
Reliable and reproducible measurements of atmospheric aerosol particle number size distributions below 10 nm require optimized classification instruments with high particle transmission efficiency. Almost all differential mobility analyzers (DMAs) have an unfavorable potential gradient at the outlet (e.g., long column, Vienna type) or at the inlet (nano-radial DMA), preventing them from achieving a good transmission efficiency for the smallest nanoparticles.

Evaporation of sulfate aerosols at low relative humidity
/ Tsagkogeorgas, Georgios (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Roldin, Pontus (Helsinki U. ; Lund U.) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Rondo, Linda (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) ; Slowik, Jay G (PSI, Villigen) ; Ehrhart, Sebastian (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Franchin, Alessandro (Helsinki U.) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon, CENTRA) et al.
Evaporation of sulfuric acid from particles can be important in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus. However, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of H2SO4 to bisulfate ions, which is the one of the fundamental parameters controlling the evaporation of sulfur particles, is not well constrained.

Insight into Acid–Base Nucleation Experiments by Comparison of the Chemical Composition of Positive, Negative, and Neutral Clusters
/ Bianchi, Federico (PSI, Villigen) ; Praplan, Arnaud P (Helsinki U.) ; Sarnela, Nina (Helsinki U.) ; Dommen, Josef (PSI, Villigen) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Ortega, Ismael K (Lille U.) ; Schobesberger, Siegfried (Helsinki U.) ; Junninen, Heikki (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) et al.
We investigated the nucleation of sulfuric acid together with two bases (ammonia and dimethylamine), at the CLOUD chamber at CERN. The chemical composition of positive, negative, and neutral clusters was studied using three Atmospheric Pressure interface-Time Of Flight (APi-TOF) mass spectrometers: two were operated in positive and negative mode to detect the chamber ions, while the third was equipped with a nitrate ion chemical ionization source allowing detection of neutral clusters.

The effect of acid–base clustering and ions on the growth of atmospheric nano-particles

The growth of freshly formed aerosol particles can be the bottleneck in their survival to cloud condensation nuclei. It is therefore crucial to understand how particles grow in the atmosphere. [...]

Experimental particle formation rates spanning tropospheric sulfuric acid and ammonia abundances, ion production rates, and temperatures
/ Kürten, Andreas ; Bianchi, Federico ; Almeida, Joao (CERN) ; Kupiainen-Määttä, Oona ; Dunne, Eimear M. ; Duplissy, Jonathan (CERN) ; Williamson, Christina ; Barmet, Peter ; Breitenlechner, Martin ; Dommen, Josef et al.
Binary nucleation of sulfuric acid and water as well as ternary nucleation involving ammonia arethought to be the dominant processes responsible for new particle formation (NPF) in the cold temperaturesof the middle and upper troposphere. Ions are also thought to be important for particle nucleation inthese regions. [...]

Comparison of the SAWNUC model with CLOUD measurements of sulphuric acid-water nucleation
/ Ehrhart, Sebastian (CERN) ; Ickes, Luisa ; Almeida, Joao (CERN) ; Amorim, Antonio ; Barmet, Peter ; Bianchi, Federico ; Dommen, Josef ; Dunne, Eimear M ; Duplissy, Jonathan ; Franchin, Alessandro et al.
Binary nucleation of sulphuric acid-water particles is expected to be an important process in the free troposphere at low temperatures. SAWNUC (Sulphuric Acid Water Nucleation) is a model of binary nucleation that is based on laboratory measurements of the binding energies of sulphuric acid and water in charged and neutral clusters.

The role of low-volatility organic compounds in initial particle growth in the atmosphere

About half of present-day cloud condensation nuclei originate from atmospheric nucleation, frequently appearing as a burst of new particles near midday. Atmospheric observations show that the growth rate of new particles often accelerates when the diameter of the particles is between one and ten nanometres. [...]

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. [...]
