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 …

A cluster is a special matter level above a single atom and between macroscopic and
microscopic matter, and it is an important bridge to understanding the relationship between …

Reactivities of AgAu n–1–(n= 3–10) with O2 at a low temperature were studied using an
instrument combining a magnetron sputter cluster source, a microflow reactor, and a time-of …

Amino acids are recognized as important components of atmospheric aerosols, which
impact on the Earth's climate directly and indirectly. However, much remains unknown about …

Cl−(H2O) n (n= 5–6) clusters were investigated using a basin hopping (BH) method coupled
with density functional theory (DFT). Structures, energetics, thermodynamics, and vibrational …

Atmospheric aerosols have a tremendous influence on visibility, climate, and human health.
New particle formation (NPF) is a crucial source of atmospheric aerosols. At present, certain …

We analyze the pattern of binding energies (BEs) of small Au n clusters (n= 1–7, 11) with
lone-pair ligands (L= H2O, SH2, NH3, PH3, PF3, PCl3, and PMe3) employing the density …

Methanesulfonate (MSA−), found in substantial concentrations in the atmosphere, is
expected to enhance aerosol nucleation and the growth of nanoparticles, but the details of …
