Abstract Knowledge of the optical properties of soot black carbon (BC) is required for the
prediction of the radiative effects of freshly-emitted and aged BC particles. Here we review …

Combustion and other high-temperature processes can produce solid aerosol nanoparticles
with complex morphologies, including fractal-like aggregates of primary particles …

The absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) is an important aerosol optical parameter used for
aerosol characterization and apportionment studies. The AAE of black carbon (BC) particles …

The impact of organic carbon (OC) on the light absorption of soot is determined by discrete

The optical properties of atmospheric black carbon (BC) aerosols are needed to model the
direct radiative forcing of the climate system, as well as for interpreting and assimilating …

Efficient and accurate computation of the single‐scattering properties of black carbon (BC)
aerosols is fundamental in various fields, including remote sensing and climate simulations …

Radiative heat transfer (RHT) is often the dominant mode of heat transfer in flames, fires,

This paper addresses how well and under what conditions the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG)
approximation describes scattering and absorption of light by fractal aggregates (FA) …

The soot volume fraction, fv, is essential for combustion engineering, air quality and climate
modeling. It is commonly obtained from mobility or optical data assuming soot spheres of …

Atmospheric ice formation in cirrus clouds is often initiated by aerosol particles that act as ice-
nucleating particles. The aerosol–cloud interactions of soot and associated feedbacks …
