An increasing evidence has suggested that organic aerosols (OA) may exist in a semisolid
or solid state under specific ambient conditions rather than liquid as normally assumed in …

Infrared spectroscopy is a ubiquitous technique used to characterize unknown materials in
the form of solids, liquids, or gases by identifying the constituent functional groups of …

Atmospheric aerosols can assume liquid, amorphous semi-solid or glassy, and crystalline
phase states. Particle phase state plays a critical role in understanding and predicting …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a large fraction of submicron particles in the
atmosphere. SOA can occur in amorphous solid or semi-solid phase states depending on …

Atmospheric aerosols are a significant public health hazard and have substantial impacts on
the climate. Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) have been shown to phase separate into a …

Atmospheric aerosol particles are commonly complex, aqueous organic-inorganic mixtures,
and accurately predicting the properties of these particles is essential for air quality and …

Biomass burning events emit large amounts of phenolic compounds, which are oxidized in
the atmosphere and form secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Using the poke-flow technique …

Abstract Information on the rate of diffusion of organic molecules within secondary organic
aerosol (SOA) is needed to accurately predict the effects of SOA on climate and air quality …

Biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) is a major contributor to organic aerosol in the
atmosphere. The impacts of BBOA on climate and health depend strongly upon their …

In Northeast Asia, the elevated levels of fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) are an
environmental concern, yet their physicochemical properties have been poorly …
