TLDR
In this article, the charging characteristics of flame-generated sub-3-nm particles were investigated with three enhanced particle detectors including a high resolution differential mobility analyzer (DMA) coupled with an electrometer, a particle size magnifier coupled with a butanol-based condensation particle counter (PSM-bCPC), and an atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer (APi-TOF).

Soot inception: Carbonaceous nanoparticle formation in flames

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) and highlighted the physically stabilised soot inception as a possible "middle way".

Overview of measurements and current instrumentation for 1–10 nm aerosol particle number size distributions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive uncertainty analysis for these methods that suggests that their present understanding on the sources of uncertainties quite well captures the observed deviations between different instruments in the size distribution measurements, and suggest guidelines for selecting suitable instruments for various applications.

On the sources of uncertainty in the sub-3 nm particle concentration measurement

TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art DMA-CPC particle sizing system is examined with respect to counting statistics and the results highlight the importance of knowing the CPC d50 accurately to narrow down the particle concentration uncertainty.

Influence of flame-generated ions on the simultaneous charging and coagulation of nanoparticles during combustion

TL;DR: In this paper, Fuchs' charging theory was coupled with a monodisperse particle growth model to study the simultaneous charging and coagulation of nanoparticles during combustion, and a high-resolution DMA was used to measure the mobilities of ions generated from a premixed flat flame operated at various conditions.

Aerosol classification by electric mobility: apparatus, theory, and applications

TL;DR: An improved version of the Hewitt (differential) electric mobility analyzer was developed and its classifying characteristics were determined theoretically in this article, where the central mobility of the classified aerosol was found to be (qc + qm)/4πΛV, where qc and qm are the clean air and main outlet flows, respectively, and Λ is a geometric factor, and the center rod voltage.

Role of sulphuric acid, ammonia and galactic cosmic rays in atmospheric aerosol nucleation

Jasper Kirkby, +68 more
- 25 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: First results from the CLOUD experiment at CERN are presented, finding that atmospherically relevant ammonia mixing ratios of 100 parts per trillion by volume, or less, increase the nucleation rate of sulphuric acid particles more than 100–1,000-fold and ion-induced binary nucleation of H2SO4–H2O can occur in the mid-troposphere but is negligible in the boundary layer.
