Abstract:Abstract. Modern condensation particle counters (CPCs) are indispensable instruments for studies of aerosols in all measurement environments. Relying on heterogeneous nucleation as basic principle, the composition dependence of particle activation is a source of profound uncertainty for the accurate assessment of particle number concentrations. While development efforts successfully pushed down minimum detectable particle sizes in recent years, composition-dependent counting efficiencies have remained to be a … Show more
