Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

Hygroscopicity is one of the most important physicochemical properties of aerosol particles
and also plays indispensable roles in many other scientific and technical fields. A myriad of …

The chemistry of environmental interfaces such as oxide and carbonate surfaces under
ambient conditions of temperature and relative humidity is of great interest from many …

It has become increasingly clear that heterogeneous and multiphase chemistry of
tropospheric aerosols can change the chemical balance of the atmosphere. In this review …

Complex χ (2) spectra of buried silica/isotopically diluted water (HOD-D2O) interfaces were
measured using multiplex heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation …

In this letter, we show that the Q factors of the latest high-Q cavities in two dimensional
photonic crystals, measured experimentally to be~ 1000000, are determined by losses due …

Hydrogen bonding interactions play an important role in many chemical and physical
processes occurring in bulk liquids and at interfaces. In this study, hydrous species (H2O …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are of central importance in the atmosphere because of
their close relation to air quality and climate change. As a significant sink for VOCs, the fate …

In this paper, we discuss methods to suppress the radiation loss of ultrasmall cavities, of the
size of the optical wavelength, in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs. An important …

Second harmonic generation (SHG) is commonly employed to monitor processes at mineral
oxide/liquid interfaces. Using SHG, we determine how the starting pH affects the acid–base …
