Flux induced growth of atmospheric nano-particles by organic vapors

modynamically stable clusters from trace gas molecules (homogeneous nucleation) followed by growth of these clusters to a detectable size (∼3 nm). Because freshly nucleated clusters are most susceptible to loss due to high rate of coagulation with pre-existing aerosol population, the initial growth rate strongly influences the rate of new particle formation and ambient aerosol population. Whereas many field obser10
