Mass-Mobility-Size for light ions/clusters

Atmospheric new particle formation adds large spatial and temporal variations to the number size distributions of atmospheric aerosol particles, which brings great complexity in evaluating their health and climatic impacts.

It is therefore crucial to understand the formation of atmospheric new particles from gas phase and their subsequent growth at a fundamental level.

This solution however is obscured by the over-simplified theory in describing the free-molecular mass-mobility-size relationship.

The MaSMob-Lion project is proposed to refine the theoretical basis of the mass-mobility-size relationship to improve its accuracy and reliability in describing the initial particle formation from gas phase. In MaSMob-Lion, the ER will focus on the carrier gas polarizability and conformation effects of
