Zusammenfassung |
We have measured the extinction and absorption cross sections of carbon particles emitted by
a propane diffusion flame both in an aerosol chamber and on size-segregated samples
deposited on optical windows. The absorption cross section, the single scattering albedo, and the
Ångström exponent show drastic dependencies both on the C/O ratio and on the particle size.
This is interpretated as being due to the appearance of nucleation modes of smaller organic particles
at higher C/O ratios, which were detected by SMPS measurements and partially by TEM analysis.
The spectral range of the
validity of the absorption power-law (Ångström exponent) model is investigated by vacuum ultraviolet
extinction measurements. These measurements give also indications for a preferentially aromatic nature of the
OC component of the flame products. |
