研究目的
To present a novel experimental technique, photothermal single-particle spectroscopy (PSPS), for the robust retrieval of mass accommodation coefficients from three simultaneous independent measurements, and to study the mass transport of water on organic aerosol droplets.
研究成果
PSPS has the potential to be developed into a broadly applicable tool for the determination of αM that are relevant to areas where water evaporation and condensation kinetics are crucial. The results for miscible systems might have implications for cloud formation models, where the pronounced changes of αM with water concentration and temperature should be considered for miscible organic aerosols.
研究不足
The technique requires relatively high molar fractions of water for the mass accommodation coefficient to change significantly. The temperature dependence of αM could be influenced by the larger temperature difference between the particle and surrounding at higher temperatures.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
PSPS combines resonant photoacoustic absorption spectroscopy with modulated Mie scattering measurements on single particles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Tetraethylene glycol (TEG) aerosol droplets are optically trapped using counter-propagating tweezers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Optical trap (532 nm, continuous wave, Laser Quantum, Opus), photoacoustic cell, IR laser (
4:47 μm diode laser, AdTech Optics), electret microphone (Knowles Electronics, EK-23133-C36), lock-in amplifier (Zurich Instruments, 500 kHz MFLI). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Trapped particles are exposed to an intensity modulated IR laser at a constant frequency of 4 kHz to induce periodic heating and cooling. The PA signal is amplified by an acoustic resonator and measured by a microphone.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The PA signal is demodulated at 4 kHz using a lock-in amplifier, which measures both the PAA and PAP. The MMS signal is accessed by demodulating the scattering signal from the photodiode at 4 kHz.
