Abstract
= MA and DMA) in the MSA-X-Y trimers are thermodynamically spontaneous. In addition, the cyclic stabilization energy of the MSA-X-Y trimers increased as the alkalinities of X and Y increased. The total evaporation rate of the trimers decreased as the alkalinities of X and Y increased. Low temperature and high pressure significantly facilitate the formation of trimers. It is further confirmed that synergy plays an important role in atmospheric NPF events.
