Chemical characterization of organic aerosols with a focus on biomass burning and mid-infrared spectroscopy

Amir Yazdani

Aerosols play a significant role in the atmosphere through affecting the radiative budget, cloud condensation nuclei activity, and visibility. They also cause adverse health effects leading to premature deaths. A major fraction of aerosols is organic matte ...

Light absorption by brown carbon over the South-East Atlantic Ocean

Athanasios Nenes, Lu Zhang

Biomass burning emissions often contain brown carbon (BrC), which represents a large family of light-absorbing organics that are chemically complex, thus making it difficult to estimate their absorption of incoming solar radiation, resulting in large uncer ...

Resolving the charging paradox of neat oil droplets in water

Sergey Kulik

The thesis covers the series of questions regarding the molecular structure and charge of oil nanodroplets in water. This work proposes a mechanism responsible for the stabilization of oil nanodroplets in water, which does not involve OH- adsorption. First ...

Quantification of major particulate matter species from a single filter type using infrared spectroscopy – Application to a large-scale monitoring network

Satoshi Takahama

To enable chemical speciation, monitoring networks collect particulate matter (PM) on different filter media, each subjected to one or more analytical techniques to quantify PM composition present in the atmosphere. In this work, we propose an alternate ap ...

Quantifying organic matter and functional groups in particulate matter filter samples from the southeastern United States - Part 2: Spatiotemporal trends

Satoshi Takahama

Organic species within atmospheric particles vary widely in molecular structure. The variety of molecules that comprise the aerosol make it rich in information about its sources and chemical life cycle but also make particulate organic matter (OM) difficul ...

Estimating mean molecular weight, carbon number, and OM∕OC with mid-infrared spectroscopy in organic particulate matter samples from a monitoring network

Satoshi Takahama, Amir Yazdani

Organic matter (OM) is a major constituent of fine particulate matter, which contributes significantly to degradation of visibility and radiative forcing, and causes adverse health effects. However, due to its sheer compositional complexity, OM is difficul ...

Combining cryognic ion spectroscopy with ion mobility for the study of glycan fragmentation

Robert Paul Pellegrinelli

The importance of glycans in biological processes are matched by their structural complexity. Coating the surfaceof most living cells, glycans play key roles in many biological processes, and the role they play is closely relatedto their structures. Struct ...

Parallel gas spectroscopy using mid-infrared supercontinuum from a single Si3N4 waveguide

Tobias Kippenberg, Camille Sophie Brès, Davide Grassani, Clemens Herkommer, Eirini Tagkoudi

Efficient third-order nonlinear optical processes have been successfully integrated on silicon nitride (Si3N4) waveguides. In particular, owing to Si3N4 wide transparency window spanning from the visible to the middle-infrared (mid-IR), efficient mid-IR di ...
