Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

Multiphase chemistry plays a vital role in the Earth system, climate, and health. Chemical
reactions, mass transport, and phase transitions between gases, liquids, and solids are …

Atmospheric black carbon makes an important but poorly quantified contribution to the
warming of the global atmosphere. Laboratory and modelling studies have shown that the …

The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon and light-absorbing
organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC), have an important role in the Earth system via heating …

The Soot Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (SP-AMS) was developed to measure the
chemical and physical properties of particles containing refractory black carbon (rBC). The …

Atmospheric aerosols, solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, range in size
from 1 nm to> 100 μm and come from a wide variety of sources. 1 As such, aerosols have a …

Elemental-, equivalent black-and refractory black-carbon are terms that have been defined
in order to dissect the more general term, black carbon, into its component parts related to its …

In situ measurements of the mass, mixing state, and optical size of individual black‐carbon
(BC) particles in the fine mode (90–600 nm) have been made in fresh emissions from urban …

Hygroscopicity is one of the most important physicochemical properties of aerosol particles
and also plays indispensable roles in many other scientific and technical fields. A myriad of …
