This review focuses on the observed characteristics of atmospheric new particle formation
(NPF) in different environments of the global troposphere. After a short introduction, we will …

New particle formation of liquid or solid nanoparticles from gas-phase precursors is a
decisive process in Earth's atmosphere and is considered one of the largest uncertainties in …

Nucleation theory provides a powerful tool for growth modeling of a variety of objects: from
liquid droplets to thin solid films and biological structures. Theoretical approaches based on …

The formation and growth of atmospheric particles involving sulfuric acid and organic vapors
is estimated to have significant climate effects. To accurately represent this process in large …

This work addresses theory of nucleation and condensation based on the continuous Fokker-
Plank type kinetic equation for the distribution of supercritical embryos over sizes beyond the …

A full heterogeneous condensation model is developed to describe the water vapor
condensation on an insoluble spherical particle. The new model divides the whole process …

A kinetic model is developed to describe the heterogeneous condensation of vapor on an
insoluble spherical particle. This new model considers two mechanisms of cluster growth …

Aerosol dynamics models that describe the evolution of a particle distribution incorporate
nucleation as a particle formation rate at a small size around a few nanometers in diameter …

Comprehensive representation of nanoparticle dynamics is necessary for understanding
nucleation and growth phenomena. This is critical in atmospheric physics, as airborne …

Nucleation is considered for nonzero rate of change of the dimensionless barrier B, which is
characterized by a finite, slowly varying “nonstationary index” N∝−(d B/dt). In the standard …
