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 …

Computational modeling of atmospheric molecular clusters requires a comprehensive
understanding of their complex configurational spaces, interaction patterns, stabilities …

The mechanical properties of oxalic acid dihydrate and anhydrous oxalic acid (α and β
polymorphic forms) were obtained by using rigorous theoretical solid-state methods based …

We present a new systematic configurational sampling algorithm for investigating the
potential energy surface of hydrated atmospheric molecular clusters. The algorithm is based …

Atmospheric particles are notorious for their effects on human health and visibility and are
known to influence climate. Though sulfuric acid and ammonia/amines are recognized as …

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 …

New particle formation (NPF), which exerts significant influence over human health and
global climate, has been a hot topic and rapidly expands field of research in the …

Atmospheric particles influence visibility, health and climate but the mechanisms of their
formation from initial clusters and their growth to detectable particles remain largely …

It is well established that oxidation products of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a
major role in atmospheric new-particle formation (NPF). However, the mechanism of their …
