The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

In the growing field of nanotechnology there is an increasing need to develop production
methods for nanoparticles, especially methods that provide control and reproducibility. The …

Soot aerosols are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and play an important role in global and
regional radiative balance and climate. Their environmental impact, however, greatly …

Soot particles, composed of elemental carbon and organic compounds, have attracted
widespread attention in recent years due to their significant impacts on climate, the …

We have conducted laboratory experiments to investigate the impacts of secondary organic
aerosol formation on soot properties from OH-initiated oxidation of toluene. Monodisperse …

We have measured morphological changes of combustion-generated mature soot with
various quantities of hydrocarbon coating and different coating-removal mechanisms. We …

Atmospheric aerosols affect climate directly, by absorbing and scattering solar radiation, and
indirectly, by altering cloud albedo and lifetime. Here, using a tandem differential mobility …

Black carbon (BC) from fuel combustion is an effective light absorber that contributes
significantly to direct climate forcing. The forcing is altered when BC combines with other …

Non-volatile particle emissions from a marine engine fueled by either diesel or natural gas
(NG) blended with diesel pilot gas were investigated via transmission electron microscopy …

We have measured time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (LII) from combustion-
generated mature soot extracted from a burner and (1) coated with oleic acid or (2) coated …
