Molecular clusters are ubiquitous constituents of the ambient atmosphere, that can grow into
larger sizes forming new aerosol particles. The formation and growth of small clusters into …

Aerosol particles are important for our global climate, but the mechanisms and especially the
relative importance of various vapors for new particles formation (NPF) remain uncertain …

How secondary aerosols form is critical as aerosols' impact on Earth's climate is one of the
main sources of uncertainty for understanding global warming. The beginning stages for …

New particle formation (NPF) is known to be an important source of atmospheric particles
that impacts air quality, hydrological cycle, and climate. Although laboratory measurements …

Using computational methods, we study the gas phase hydration of three different
atmospherically relevant organic acids with up to 10 water molecules. We study a …

Atmospheric molecular clusters, the onset of secondary aerosol formation, are a major part
of the current uncertainty in modern climate models. Quantum chemical (QC) methods are …

Ion specificity, a widely observed macroscopic phenomenon in condensed phases and at
interfaces, is a fundamental chemical physics issue. Herein we report our recent studies of …

Oxalic acid is believed to play an important role in the formation and growth of atmospheric
organic aerosols. However, as a common organic acid, the understanding of the larger …

Oxalic acid and dimethylamine are the most common organic acid and base in the
atmosphere, and are recognized as significant precursor species in atmospheric new …

Ammonia and amines are important common trace atmospheric species that can enhance
new particle formation (NPF) in the Earth's atmosphere. However, the synergistic effect of …
