Atmospheric new particle formation from the CERN CLOUD experiment
/ Kirkby, Jasper (CERN) ; Amorim, António ; Baltensperger, Urs ; Carslaw, Kenneth S ; Christoudias, Theodoros ; Curtius, Joachim ; Donahue, Neil M ; Haddad, Imad El ; Flagan, Richard C ; Gordon, Hamish et al.
Aerosol particles in the atmosphere profoundly influence public health and climate. Ultrafine particles enter the body through the lungs and can translocate to essentially all organs, and they represent a major yet poorly understood health risk. [...]

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. [...]

Multicomponent new particle formation from sulfuric acid, ammonia, and biogenic vapors
/ Lehtipalo, Katrianne (U. Helsinki (main) ; PSI, Villigen ; Finnish Meteorological Inst.) ; Yan, Chao (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Dada, Lubna (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Bianchi, Federico (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Xiao, Mao (PSI, Villigen) ; Wagner, Robert (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Ahonen, Lauri R (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon, CENTRA ; Lisbon U.) ; Baccarini, Andrea (PSI, Villigen) et al.
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.

Observation of viscosity transition in α-pinene secondary organic aerosol
/ Järvinen, Emma (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Ignatius, Karoliina (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Nichman, Leonid (Manchester U.) ; Kristensen, Thomas B (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Fuchs, Claudia (PSI, Villigen) ; Hoyle, Christopher R (PSI, Villigen ; Davos Observ.) ; Höppel, Niko (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Corbin, Joel C (PSI, Villigen) ; Craven, Jill (Caltech) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U.) et al.
Under certain conditions, secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles can exist in the atmosphere in an amorphous solid or semi-solid state. To determine their relevance to processes such as ice nucleation or chemistry occurring within particles requires knowledge of the temperature and relative humidity (RH) range for SOA to exist in these states.

Heterogeneous ice nucleation of viscous secondary organic aerosol produced from ozonolysis of α-pinene

There are strong indications that particles containing secondary organic aerosol (SOA) exhibit amorphous solid or semi-solid phase states in the atmosphere. This may facilitate heterogeneous ice nucleation and thus influence cloud properties. [...]

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 effect of acid–base clustering and ions on the growth of atmospheric nano-particles

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. [...]

The role of low-volatility organic compounds in initial particle growth in the atmosphere
/ Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) ; Chuang, Wayne K (Carnegie Mellon U. (main)) ; Gordon, Hamish (CERN) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Yan, Chao (Helsinki U.) ; Molteni, Ugo (PSI, Villigen) ; Ahlm, Lars (Stockholm U. (main)) ; Frege, Carla (PSI, Villigen) ; Bianchi, Federico (PSI, Villigen ; Helsinki U. ; ETH, Zurich (main)) ; Wagner, Robert (Helsinki U.) et al.
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. [...]
