Exploring the Molecular Properties of Atmospheric Freshly Nucleated Particles

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

ues. I propose a unique approach to target the properties of FNPs by applying a versatile suite of computational methods, ranging from quantum chemical calculations to application of conceptually new machine learning models. The scientific objectives are: 1) To determine the chemical composition and stability of FNPs. 2) To understand how FNPs evolve over time via exchange of vapours with the environment. 3) To investigate how FNPs transform as a consequence of chemical reactions occurring at the surface or inside the particles. The research will provide unprecedented insight into the molecular level properties of FNPs. This project will directly supply input parameters (chemical composition, thermodynamics and kinetics) for atmospheric models, which are crucial in order to constrain the large uncertainty in climate predictions caused by small aerosol particles.
