Determination of the collision rate coefficient between charged iodic acid clusters and iodic acid using the appearance time method
/ He, Xu-Cheng (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Iyer, Siddharth (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Sipilä, Mikko (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Ylisirniö, Arttu (UEF, Kuopio) ; Peltola, Maija (Helsinki U.) ; Kontkanen, Jenni (Helsinki U.) ; Baalbaki, Rima (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tham, Yee Jun (Helsinki U.) et al.
Ions enhance the formation rate of atmospheric aerosol particles, which play an important role in Earth’s radiative balance. Ion-induced nucleation involves the stepwise accretion of neutral monomers onto a molecular cluster containing an ion, which helps to stabilize the cluster against evaporation. [...]

/ Xiao, Mao ; Hoyle, Christopher R ; Dada, Lubna ; Stolzenburg, Dominik ; Kürten, Andreas ; Wang, Mingyi ; Lamkaddam, Houssni ; Garmash, Olga ; Mentler, Bernhard ; Molteni, Ugo et al.
New particle formation (NPF) is a significant
source of atmospheric particles, affecting climate and air
quality. Understanding the mechanisms involved in urban
aerosols is important to develop effective mitigation strategies. [...]

Vertical profiles of sub-3 nm particles over the boreal forest
/ Leino, Katri (Helsinki U.) ; Lampilahti, Janne (Helsinki U.) ; Poutanen, Pyry (Helsinki U.) ; Väänänen, Riikka (Helsinki U.) ; Manninen, Antti (Helsinki U.) ; Buenrostro Mazon, Stephany (Helsinki U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Franck, Anna (Helsinki U.) ; Wimmer, Daniela (Helsinki U.) ; Aalto, Pasi P (Helsinki U.) et al.
This work presents airborne observations of sub3 nm particles in the lower troposphere and investigates new
particle formation (NPF) within an evolving boundary layer
(BL). We studied particle concentrations together with supporting gas and meteorological data inside the planetary BL
over a boreal forest site in Hyytiälä, southern Finland. [...]

Enhanced growth rate of atmospheric particles from sulfuric acid
/ Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Ranjithkumar, Ananth (Leeds U.) ; Kürten, Andreas (Frankfurt U.) ; Lehtipalo, Katrianne (Helsinki U. ; Finnish Meteorological Inst.) ; Gordon, Hamish (Leeds U.) ; Ehrhart, Sebastian (Mainz, Max Planck Inst.) ; Finkenzeller, Henning (U. Colorado, Boulder) ; Pichelstorfer, Lukas (Helsinki U.) ; Nieminen, Tuomo (Helsinki U.) et al.
In the present-day atmosphere, sulfuric acid is the
most important vapour for aerosol particle formation and initial growth. However, the growth rates of nanoparticles ( <
10 nm) from sulfuric acid remain poorly measured. [...]

Molecular understanding of the suppression of new-particle formation by isoprene
/ Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U. ; U. Colorado, Boulder) ; Fischer, Lukas (Innsbruck U.) ; Ahonen, Lauri R (Helsinki U.) ; Amanatidis, Stavros (Caltech, Pasadena (main)) ; Baalbaki, Rima (Helsinki U.) ; Baccarini, Andrea (PSI, Villigen) et al.
Nucleation of atmospheric vapours produces more
than half of global cloud condensation nuclei and so has
an important influence on climate. Recent studies show
that monoterpene (C$_{10}$H$_{16}$) oxidation yields highly oxygenated products that can nucleate with or without sulfuric acid. [...]

Rapid growth of organic aerosol nanoparticles over a wide tropospheric temperature range
/ Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Fischer, Lukas (Innsbruck U.) ; Vogel, Alexander L (Frankfurt U. ; CERN ; PSI, Villigen) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Schervish, Meredith (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Ahonen, Lauri R (Helsinki U.) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon U. ; CMAF, Lisbon) et al.
Nucleation and growth of aerosol particles from atmospheric vapors constitutes a major source of global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). The fraction of newly formed particles that reaches CCN sizes is highly sensitive to particle growth rates, especially for particle sizes <10 nm, where coagulation losses to larger aerosol particles are greatest.

Multicomponent new particle formation from sulfuric acid, ammonia, and biogenic vapors

A major fraction of atmospheric aerosol particles, which affect both air quality and climate, form from gaseous precursors in the atmosphere. Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs), formed by oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds, are known to participate in particle formation and growth. [...]

Insight into Acid–Base Nucleation Experiments by Comparison of the Chemical Composition of Positive, Negative, and Neutral Clusters
/ Bianchi, Federico (PSI, Villigen) ; Praplan, Arnaud P (Helsinki U.) ; Sarnela, Nina (Helsinki U.) ; Dommen, Josef (PSI, Villigen) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Ortega, Ismael K (Lille U.) ; Schobesberger, Siegfried (Helsinki U.) ; Junninen, Heikki (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) et al.
We investigated the nucleation of sulfuric acid together with two bases (ammonia and dimethylamine), at the CLOUD chamber at CERN. The chemical composition of positive, negative, and neutral clusters was studied using three Atmospheric Pressure interface-Time Of Flight (APi-TOF) mass spectrometers: two were operated in positive and negative mode to detect the chamber ions, while the third was equipped with a nitrate ion chemical ionization source allowing detection of neutral clusters.

New particle formation has been estimated to produce around half of cloud-forming particlesin the present-day atmosphere, via gas-to-particle conversion. Here we assess the importance of newparticle formation (NPF) for both the present-day and the preindustrial atmospheres [...]
