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.

Soot PCF: pore condensation and freezing framework for soot aggregates [PDF]
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 remain uncertain, in part because a coherent understanding of the ice

Different effects of anthropogenic emissions and aging processes on the mixing state of soot particles in the nucleation and accumulation modes [PDF]
In this study, the mixing state of size-resolved soot particles and their influencing factors were investigated based on a 5-month aerosol volatility measurement at a suburban site (Xingtai, XT) in the central North China Plain (NCP).

Measurement report: New insights into the mixing structures of black carbon on the eastern Tibetan Plateau – soot redistribution and fractal dimension enhancement by liquid–liquid phase separation [PDF]
Black carbon (BC; i.e. soot) absorbs radiation and contributes to glacier retreat over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). A lack of comprehensive understanding of the actual mixing state leads to large controversies in the climatic simulation of soot over the TP.

Quantifying evolution of soot mixing state from transboundary transport of biomass burning emissions
Summary: Incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass burning emit large amounts of soot particles into the troposphere. The condensation process is considered to influence the size (Dp) and mixing state of soot particles, which affects their solar ...

Modeling light scattering from Diesel soot particles [PDF]
The Mie model is widely used to analyze light scattering from particulate aerosols. The Diesel particle scatterometer, for example, determines the size and optical properties of Diesel exhaust particles that are characterized by the measurement of three angle-dependent elements of the Mueller scattering matrix.

On the thermophoretic sampling and TEM-based characterisation of soot particles in flames
Thermophoretic sampling and TEM imaging are common techniques used to characterise soot particles in flames. In this paper, we present a multi-scale evaluation of operating conditions and methodological aspects of these techniques, and based on our own ...
