/ Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Rondo, Linda (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Ehrhart, Sebastian (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Curtius, Joachim (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main))
The accurate measurement of the gaseous sulfuric acid concentration is crucial within many fields of atmospheric science. Instruments utilizing chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS) measuring H2SO4, therefore, require a careful calibration. [...]

Evaporation of sulfate aerosols at low relative humidity
/ Tsagkogeorgas, Georgios (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Roldin, Pontus (Helsinki U. ; Lund U.) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Rondo, Linda (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) ; Slowik, Jay G (PSI, Villigen) ; Ehrhart, Sebastian (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Franchin, Alessandro (Helsinki U.) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon, CENTRA) et al.
Evaporation of sulfuric acid from particles can be important in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus. However, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of H2SO4 to bisulfate ions, which is the one of the fundamental parameters controlling the evaporation of sulfur particles, is not well constrained. [...]

Aerosol nucleation and growth in a mixture of sulfuric acid/alpha-pinene oxidation products at the CERN CLOUD chamber
/ Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) ; Bianchi, Federico (PSI, Villigen) ; Kürten, Andreas (Frankfurt U.) ; Rondo, Linda (Frankfurt U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Sarnela, Nina (Helsinki U.) ; Jokinen, Tuija (Helsinki U. ; TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Innsbruck U.) ; Dommen, Josef (PSI, Villigen) ; Kirkby, Jasper (CERN) et al.
/CLOUD
The role of α-pinene in aerosol nucleation and growth was investigated using the CERN CLOUD chamber, a nano scanning mobility particle sizer (nanoSMPS) and several condensation particle counters (CPCs) with different diameter cut-offs. Different oxidation conditions for α-pinene - OH⋅ vs. [...]

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.

Unexpectedly acidic nanoparticles formed in dimethylamine–ammonia–sulfuric-acid nucleation experiments at CLOUD
/ Lawler, Michael J (UC, Irvine (main)) ; Winkler, Paul M (Vienna U.) ; Kim, Jaeseok (UEF, Kuopio ; Korea Polar Research Institute, Republic of Korea) ; Ahlm, Lars (Stockholm U.) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) ; Praplan, Arnaud P (Helsinki U. ; Finnish Meteorological Inst.) ; Schobesberger, Siegfried (Helsinki U. ; Washington U., Seattle) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Kirkby, Jasper (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main) ; CERN) ; Bianchi, Federico (Helsinki U.) et al.
New particle formation driven by acid–base chemistry was initiated in the CLOUD chamber at CERN by introducing atmospherically relevant levels of gas-phase sulfuric acid and dimethylamine (DMA). Ammonia was also present in the chamber as a gas-phase contaminant from earlier experiments [...]

The growth of freshly formed aerosol particles can be the bottleneck in their survival to cloud condensation nuclei. It is therefore crucial to understand how particles grow in the atmosphere. [...]

Experimental particle formation rates spanning tropospheric sulfuric acid and ammonia abundances, ion production rates, and temperatures

Binary nucleation of sulfuric acid and water as well as ternary nucleation involving ammonia arethought to be the dominant processes responsible for new particle formation (NPF) in the cold temperaturesof the middle and upper troposphere. Ions are also thought to be important for particle nucleation inthese regions. [...]

Comparison of the SAWNUC model with CLOUD measurements of sulphuric acid-water nucleation
/ Ehrhart, Sebastian (CERN) ; Ickes, Luisa ; Almeida, Joao (CERN) ; Amorim, Antonio ; Barmet, Peter ; Bianchi, Federico ; Dommen, Josef ; Dunne, Eimear M ; Duplissy, Jonathan ; Franchin, Alessandro et al.
Binary nucleation of sulphuric acid-water particles is expected to be an important process in the free troposphere at low temperatures. SAWNUC (Sulphuric Acid Water Nucleation) is a model of binary nucleation that is based on laboratory measurements of the binding energies of sulphuric acid and water in charged and neutral clusters.

About half of present-day cloud condensation nuclei originate from atmospheric nucleation, frequently appearing as a burst of new particles near midday. Atmospheric observations show that the growth rate of new particles often accelerates when the diameter of the particles is between one and ten nanometres. [...]
