The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

Black carbon is a byproduct of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons and it has attracted
widespread attention in various fields such as atmospheric chemistry, climate change, and …

Both field observation and experimental simulation have implied that black carbon or soot
plays a remarkable role in the catalytic oxidation of SO2 for the formation of atmospheric …

Incipient soot early in the flame was studied by high-resolution atomic force microscopy and
scanning tunneling microscopy to resolve the atomic structure and orbital densities of single …

This paper presents particle size distributions and chemical compositions of soot measured
using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) and a Fourier-Transform Ion Cyclotron …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are the main precursors to soot particles in combustion
systems. A lack of direct experimental evidence has led to controversial theoretical …

Highly oxygenated organic molecules are a key component of atmospheric secondary
organic aerosol. The origin and formation mechanism of highly oxygenated organic …

This paper presents an analysis of measurements of density and specific heat, coupled with
X-ray crystallography data, for 47 solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) spanning a …

Carbon-based catalytic oxidation widely exists in contamination control, energy conversion
and chemical production, in which amorphous carbon containing heteroatom is commonly …

Abstract In the United States, Black individuals have higher rates of cancer mortality than
any other racial group. Here, we examine chromosome copy number changes in cancers …
