Clusteromics IV: The Role of Nitric Acid in Atmospheric Cluster Formation
Yosef Knattrup, Jonas Elm
Abstract
)/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations. The enhancing effect from the presence of nitric acid on cluster formation is studied using the calculated thermochemical data and cluster dynamics simulations. We find that when NA is in excess compared with the other acids, it has a substantial enhancing effect on the cluster formation potential.
