The Raman Lidar for Meteorological Observations (RALMO) was installed at the MeteoSwiss Regional Center of Payerne, Switzerland, in summer 2008. One of its aims is to provide continuous vertical profiles of tropospheric water vapor during day and night at ...
This study reports laboratory measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity and droplet activation kinetics of aerosols dry generated from clays, calcite, quartz, and desert soil samples from Northern Africa, East Asia/China, and Northern Americ ...
Nanowire (NW) crystal growth via the vapour-liquid-solid mechanism is a complex dynamic process involving interactions between many atoms of various thermodynamic states. With increasing speed over the last few decades many works have reported on various a ...
This thesis is focused on the study of the morphology of micropores formed during solidification of metallic alloys. Micropores constrained to form in well-developed dendritic solid network adopt complex non-spherical shapes. Previous studies using X-ray t ...
This work investigates the influence of bicarbonate ions on the deterioration of cementitious material exposed to sulfate ions. Mortars based on a CEM I and on a CEM III/B cement were investigated. Experimental investigations were compared to thermodynamic ...
This work investigates sulfate attack in complex sulfate environments by exposing different binder types to various sulfate solutions and comparing predicted phase and volume changes with experimental data. The most important aspects of this work can be gr ...
Particle shape and distribution of chemical compounds within individual particles are implied in the parameterizations used in air quality and climate models for radiative transfer, volatility, and mass transfer. In this study we employ Scanning Transmissi ...
The ingress of sulfate ions into cementitious materials leads to the formation of ettringite, gypsum and other phases. The increase in solid volume through the formation of these phases is often assumed to be the only reason for expansion. In this paper we ...
The continuous-flow streamwise thermal-gradient cloud condensation nuclei counter (CFSTGC) is a commercially available instrument that is widely used for laboratory and field measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). All studies to date assume that ...
Our work investigates the precipitation mechanism of a seeded calcium carbonate reaction, by using cryogenic TEM to observe the early stages of the reaction. The early precipitation of a hydrated phase is proposed as an intermediate phase before transforma ...
