Conspectus The complex array of sources and transformations of organic carbonaceous
material that comprises an important fraction of atmospheric fine particle mass, known as …

Atmospheric aerosols can assume liquid, amorphous semi-solid or glassy, and crystalline
phase states. Particle phase state plays a critical role in understanding and predicting …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a large fraction of submicron particles in the
atmosphere. SOA can occur in amorphous solid or semi-solid phase states depending on …

The mechanistic pathway by which high relative humidity (RH) affects gas–particle
partitioning remains poorly understood, although many studies report increased secondary …

Aerosol-cloud interactions remain uncertain in assessing climate change. While
anthropogenic activities produce copious aerosol nanoparticles smaller than 10 …

Volatility and viscosity are important properties of organic aerosols (OA), affecting aerosol
processes such as formation, evolution, and partitioning of OA. Volatility distributions of …

Although the particle phase state is an important property, there is scant information on it,
especially, for real-world aerosols. To explore the phase state of fine mode aerosols (PM2 …

To predict important secondary organic aerosol (SOA) properties, information on viscosity or
diffusion rates within SOA is needed. Ozonolysis of β-caryophyllene is an important SOA …

The roles that chemical environment and viscosity play in the photochemical fate of
molecules trapped in atmospheric particles are poorly understood. The goal of this work was …

Biomass burning events emit large amounts of phenolic compounds, which are oxidized in
the atmosphere and form secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Using the poke-flow technique …
