Combustion and other high-temperature processes can produce solid aerosol nanoparticles
with complex morphologies, including fractal-like aggregates of primary particles …

The optical properties of atmospheric black carbon (BC) aerosols are needed to model the
direct radiative forcing of the climate system, as well as for interpreting and assimilating …

The absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) is an important aerosol optical parameter used for
aerosol characterization and apportionment studies. The AAE of black carbon (BC) particles …

Black carbon (BC) particles in the atmosphere can absorb more light when coated by non-
absorbing or weakly absorbing materials during atmospheric aging, due to the lensing …

Soot aggregates form as open, fractal-like structures, but aged atmospheric particles are
often observed to be restructured into more-compact shapes due to internal mixing …

The radiative forcing of black carbon aerosol (BC) is one of the largest sources of uncertainty
in climate change assessments. Contrasting results of BC absorption enhancement (E abs) …

This paper addresses how well and under what conditions the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG)
approximation describes scattering and absorption of light by fractal aggregates (FA) …

This paper provides a thorough modeling-based overview of the scattering and radiative
properties of a wide variety of morphologically complex carbonaceous aerosols. Using the …

Black carbon (BC) aerosols have been widely recognized as a vital climate forcer in the
atmosphere. Amplification of light absorption can occur due to coatings on BC during …

Strongly absorbing black carbon (BC) particles are commonly mixed with other aerosols in
the ambient atmospheres, resulting in absorption enhancement known as the lensing effect …
