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 …

Aerosols significantly influence atmospheric processes such as cloud nucleation,
heterogeneous chemistry, and heavy‐metal transport in the troposphere. The chemical and …

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

The computational study of the formation and growth of atmospheric aerosols requires an
accurate Gibbs free energy surface, which can be obtained from gas phase electronic …

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 …

The global optimization of nanoparticles, such as pure or bimetallic metal clusters, has
become a very important and sophisticated research field in modern nanoscience. The …

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 comprehensive genetic algorithm is used to perform a global search for Cl−(H 2 O) 1–9
and NaCl (H 2 O) 1–9. The structural optimization, energy calculations, vibrational …

The presence of amines can increase aerosol formation rates. Most studies have been
devoted to dimethylamine as the representative of amine; however, there have been a few …
