Phase state of secondary organic aerosol in chamber photo-oxidation of mixed precursors by Yu Wang (12152)

“…Although less important than RH and MR_org/inorg, the SOA composition plays a second-order role, with differences in the liquid-to-nonliquid transition at moderate MR_org/inorg of ∼ 1 observed between biogenic-only (anthropogenic-free) and anthropogenic-containing VOC systems. Considering the combining role of the RH and chemical composition in aerosol phase state, the BF decreased monotonically with increasing hygroscopic growth factor (GF), and the BF was ∼ 0 when GF was larger than 1.15. …”
