Laboratory studies of ice nucleation onto bare and internally mixed soot–sulfuric acid particles [PDF]
Soot particles are potential candidates for ice-nucleating particles in cirrus cloud formation, which is known to exert a net-warming effect on climate.

Size-dependent mass absorption cross-section of soot particles from various sources [PDF]
The mass absorption cross-section (MAC) of combustion-generated soot is used in pollution and emissions measurements to quantify the mass concentration of soot and in atmospheric modelling to predict the radiative effects of soot on climate. Previous work has suggested that the MAC of soot particles may change with their size, due to (1) internal ...

Regenerative Soot-IV: The state of the carbon vapour in the regenerative sooting discharge [PDF]
Formation of the regenerative soot is the process of recycling and introduction of the cathode deposited carbon clusters into the discharge. The agglomerates of carbon clusters on the cathode release their constituents into the plasma that goes from the pure sputtering mode to the sooting one.

Transition from the C3-dominated discharge to the sooting plasma [PDF]
Mass spectrometry and photoemission spectroscopy of a graphite hollow cathode source identify the parameters of the transition from the C(3) dominated discharge to the sooting plasma. The transition is a function of the shape and profile of a special cusp magnetic field which is a function of radius and azimuth angle, the geometry of the source, the ...

Individual aerosol particles from biomass burning in southern Africa: 1. Compositions and size distributions of carbonaceous particles [PDF]
Individual aerosol particles in smoke plumes from biomass fires and in regional hazes in southern Africa were studied using analytical transmission electron microscopy ( TEM), which allowed detailed characterization of carbonaceous particle types in ...

Implementation of the Semi Empirical Kinetic Soot Model within Chemistry Tabulation Framework for Efficient Emissions Predictions in Diesel Engines [PDF]
Soot prediction for diesel engines is a very important aspect of internal combustion engine emissions research, especially nowadays with very strict emission norms. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is often used in this research and optimisation of CFD
