From molecular clusters to nanoparticles: second-generation ion-mediated nucleation model

Ions, which are generated in the atmosphere by galactic cosmic rays and other ionization sources, may play an important role in the formation of atmospheric aerosols. In the paper, a new second-generation ion-mediated nucleation (IMN) model is presented. The new model explicitly treats the evaporati...
