• Competition between water uptake and ice nucleation by glassy organic aerosol particles (2014, positive): “SOA particles are expected to be liquid at high temperature and high humidity, but they are very likely to exhibit a highly viscous semisolid or even glassy state at low temperature and low humidity (Virtanen et al., 2010; Saukko et al., 2012; Renbaum-Wolff et al., 2013; Shiraiwa et al., 2013a).”
• Observations of ice multiplication in a weakly convective cell embedded in supercooled mid-level stratus (2010, background): “Glassy organic aerosol particles have recently been detected at room temperatures (Virtanen et al., 2010), and these could also be a potential source of efficient ice nuclei at relatively warm temperatures.”
• Predicting the glass transition temperature and viscosity of secondary organic material using molecular composition (2017, background): “…SOA particles have been observed to bounce off the smooth hard 52 surface of an inertial impactor at low RH, implying a non-liquid state (Virtanen et al., 2010; 53 Saukko et al., 2012; Bateman et al., 2015; Jain and Petrucci, 2015), whereas predominantly 54 biogenic SOA particles in the…”
• Gas uptake and chemical aging of semisolid organic aerosol particles (2011, background): “(2010) (29), however, showed that biogenic SOA particles formed in plant chamber experiments and in new particle formation events over boreal forests can adopt an amorphous semisolid state, which is in line with the observed presence of oligomers or other organic compounds with high molecular mass a”
• Evolution of organic aerosol mass spectra upon heating: implications for OA phase and partitioning behavior (2010, background): “A few recent studies have indicated the potential for and importance of glassy organic aerosol in the atmosphere (Murray, 2008;Murray et al., 2010;Zobrist et al., 2008;Virtanen et al., 2010).”
• Modeling the formation and growth of atmospheric molecular clusters: A review (2020, background): “Phase state, e.g. solid/liquid: The phase state of larger particles is an area of intense research, see (Pöschl & Shiraiwa, 2015; Reid et al., 2018; Shiraiwa et al., 2011, 2017; Virtanen et al., 2010) and will not be discussed here.”
• Improvements to an Empirical Parameterization of Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation and Its Comparison with Observations (2013, background): “Their molecular lattice may be amorphous (e.g., Virtanen et al. 2010) with poor ice-nucleating ability.”
