Fundamental questions remain about the origin of newly formed atmospheric aerosol
particles because data from laboratory measurements have been insufficient to build global …

The formation of strongly bound atmospheric molecular clusters is the first step towards
forming new aerosol particles. Recent advances in the application of machine learning …

Binary nucleation of sulfuric acid and water as well as ternary nucleation involving ammonia
are thought to be the dominant processes responsible for new particle formation (NPF) in the …

We investigate the utilization of the domain local pair natural orbital coupled cluster (DLPNO-
CCSD (T)) method for calculating binding energies of atmospherical molecular clusters …

The formation of particles from precursor vapors is an important source of atmospheric
aerosol. Research at the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) facility at CERN tries …

We tested the influence of various parameters on the new particle formation rate predicted
for the sulfuric acid–ammonia system using quantum chemistry and cluster distribution …

Nitric acid, an air pollutant with strong acidity and oxidizability, can be found in considerable
quantities in the gas and aerosol phase. Understanding the role of nitric acid in atmospheric …

The chain of chemical and physical processes leading to formation of new aerosol particles
from gaseous precursors vapors is often called new particle formation (NPF). Although first …

Sulfuric acid clusters stabilized by base molecules are likely to have a significant role in
atmospheric new-particle formation. Recent advances in mass spectrometry techniques …

Atmospheric clusters are weakly bound and can fragment inside the measuring instruments,
in particular, mass spectrometers. Since the clusters accelerate under electric fields, the …
