The effect of acid–base clustering and ions on the growth of atmospheric nano-particles

The effect of acid–base clustering and ions on the growth of atmospheric nano-particles

The growth rates of freshly formed aerosol particles influence what fraction of these can reach sizes large enough to affect cloud formation and climate. Here, the authors show that the nano-particle growth in a sulphuric acid containing system can be enhanced by the presence of ions or small acid-b...
