Surfactants are surface-active molecules or ions that can often be found at the surface of
atmospheric aerosol particles. Some surfactants, such as biomolecules in marine aerosol …

We present a comprehensive review of methods and applications of molecular simulations
of interfacial systems. We give a detailed overview of the main techniques and major …

Surface-active compounds present in aerosols can increase their cloud condensation nuclei
(CCN) activation efficiency by reducing the surface tension (σ) in the growing droplets …

Specific interactions between the carboxylic acid moiety and the monovalent salts CsCl,
NaCl, and LiCl, have been investigated in Langmuir monolayers using vibrational sum …

Atmospheric aerosols have long been known to alter climate by scattering incoming solar
radiation and acting as seeds for cloud formation. These processes have vast implications …

Sea spray aerosols (SSA) are known to have an organic coating that is mainly composed of
fatty acids. In this study, the effect of pH and salt on the stability and organization of a …

Ultrafine aerosol particles with sizes smaller than 50 nm have been shown in recent studies
to serve as a large source of cloud condensation nuclei that can promote additional cloud …

Organic aerosols (OA) in marine environments can be derived from various origins.
However, fundamental temporal variations of marine OA are lacking, leading to an …

The interactions between water molecules and condensed n-butanol surfaces are
investigated at temperatures from 160 to 240 K using the environmental molecular beam …

The growth of small valeric (pentanoic) and glutaric (pentanedioic) acid aerosol particles
from 20 to 500 molecules has been investigated at room temperature using classical …
