The physicochemical properties of the secondary organic materials (SOMs) that constitute the particle phase have potentially important consequences for the growth, the reactivity, and ultimate fate of atmospheric organic aerosols, thereby affect climate, human health and visibility. A quantitative analysis of the physicochemical properties of the SOMs is important, but challenging. This thesis presents laboratory studies of alpha-pinene derived SOMs, which is one of the major components of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) in the forests, by combing a flow tube reactor, aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM) and other online/offline measurement techniques.

520 $a The physicochemical properties of the secondary organic materials (SOMs) that constitute the particle phase have potentially important consequences for the growth, the reactivity, and ultimate fate of atmospheric organic aerosols, thereby affect climate, human health and visibility. A quantitative analysis of the physicochemical properties of the SOMs is important, but challenging. This thesis presents laboratory studies of alpha-pinene derived SOMs, which is one of the major components of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) in the forests, by combing a flow tube reactor, aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM) and other online/offline measurement techniques.
520 $a A water-jacketed constant temperature flow tube reactor was built to produce SOM particles grown from either condensation or coagulation. Different ratios of alpha-pinene enantiomers were mixed and injected into the flow tube reactor for dark ozonolysis. A matrix of organic precursor and ozone concentrations was designed and tested in order to determine the optimal concentration to switch between condensation and coagulation. Results show that at 51 +/- 1 ppm O3, condensation is the dominant growth mechanism when the alpha-pinene concentration is 0.125 +/- 0.001 ppm, and coagulation is the dominant growth mechanism when the alpha-pinene concentration increases to 1.00 +/- 0.03 ppm. A combination of both growth mechanisms is observed when the alpha-pinene concentration is in between the described values.
520 $a The study also proposed and tested the hypothesis that a 50:50 mixture of alpha-pinene enantiomers may result in SOM particles that have different physical properties, such as number-diameter distributions, when compared with those particles generated from a single enantiomer of alpha-pinene. The experiment was conducted within the condensational growth regime so that the chirality induced structure differences in oligomers can be maximized during the nucleation and condensation. Nevertheless, our analysis indicates that, after removing the effects of ozone and temperature, the chirality-induced effects are minimal and within our detection limit. Even though the results were negative, the method used in this experiment provided useful experience for the viscosity related experiments in this thesis.
520 $a Another important property of the SOM is its viscosity. The viscosities of atmospheric particles determine whether their interactions with surrounding gases are confined to the surface or can proceed to the interior. Viscosities affect the gas-particle diffusion rate, and ultimately influences the SOM's other physical properties, such as particle size, and chemical properties, such as reactivity. The work presented in this thesis estimates the viscosity of submicron organic particles while they are still suspended as an aerosol without further post-processing techniques that can have the possibility of altering the properties of semivolatile materials. The results show that the studied particles are semisolid up to 58% relative humidity (RH) and may become liquid only at a higher RH. These results imply that atmospheric particles, at least those similar to the ones studied and for low to middle RH regimes, are expected to reach equilibrium only rather slowly with the chemical composition of the gas phase, sometimes on timescales longer than the actual residence time of the particles in the atmosphere.
520 $a Last but not the least, the results of offline particle analysis from two collaboration studies are also discussed in this thesis. The results show how water vapor, or RH, affects the physicochemical properties of the alpha-pinene derived SOM particles. In one study, the diffusivity is underestimated by approximately 8 orders of magnitude if calculated from the Stokes-Einstein equation, which suggests the breakdown of Stokes-Einstein equation for small gas molecules. The second study shows the surface properties of SOM particles can be influenced by the RH, leading to a difference of the gas-particle interactions at the particle surface.
