Formation of incipient soot particles from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: A ReaxFF molecular dynamics study [PDF]
Carbon, 2017 In this study, we present the results from a series of ReaxFF molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to uncover the underlying mechanisms behind the nucleation and growth of incipient soot particles from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs, namely,

Tracing the evolution of morphology and mixing state of soot particles along with the movement of an Asian dust storm [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 Tracing the aging progress of soot particles during transport is highly challenging. An Asian dust event could provide an ideal opportunity to trace the continuous aging progress of long-range-transported soot particles.

A shape model of internally mixed soot particles derived from artificial surface tension [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019 To retrieve the physical properties of aerosols from multi-channel ground-based and satellite measurements, we developed a shape model of coated soot particles and created a dataset of their optical properties. Bare soot particles were assumed to have an

Technical Note: The single particle soot photometer fails to reliably detect PALAS soot nanoparticles [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2012 The single particle soot photometer (SP2) uses laser-induced incandescence (LII) for the measurement of atmospheric black carbon (BC) particles. The BC mass concentration is obtained by combining quantitative detection of BC mass in single particles with
