A termolecular reaction theory for gas-phase nucleation based on long-range intermolecular forces
Yu Wang, Arnab Choudhury, Felix Graber +3
The birth of a new phase is usually described thermodynamically, but in the gas phase it begins as chemistry. Here, we show that gas-phase nucleation can be described as a termolec…

Using optical tweezers to simultaneously trap, charge and measure the charge of a microparticle in air
Andrea Stoellner, Isaac C. D. Lenton, Artem G. Volosniev +9
Optical tweezers are widely used as a highly sensitive tool to measure forces on micron-scale particles. One such application is the measurement of the electric charge of a particl…

Trapping absorbing and non-absorbing aqueous particle using a universal 4-arm Laguerre-Gaussian mode light trap
Krispin M. Dettlaff, James Wenger, Grégory David +1
Absorbing aerosols, such as brown carbon (BrC) and absorbing secondary organic aerosols (SOA), has attracted broad interest due to their importance for climate and human health. Th…
