Black carbon-containing aerosol particles play an important role in the direct and indirect radiative forcing of climate. However, the magnitude and sign of the net radiative effect is strongly dependent on the physical properties of the black carbon (BC) component of the particles, such as mass concentration, number size distribution and mixing state. Here we use a global aerosol model combine...

Radiative charge transfer (RCT) from cationic to neutral atoms is a fundamental and frequently occurring process in ion-neutral collisions van der Waals clusters. In contrast with only two collision partners, RCT clusters more involved as it may depend on the cluster size, stoichiometry, local arrangement of cluster. Here, we present systematic investigation an photon spectrum function stoichom...
