Development and characterization of a single particle mass spectrometer with soft photoionization for organic aerosol studies

Aerosol particles, which are ubiquitous in the Earth’s atmosphere, can be 20-90% organic carbon by mass. These organic aerosols are thought to play an important role in climate, human health, and the chemistry of the atmosphere. Their composition, however, can be extremely complex, presenting a si...
