• Atmospheric Cluster Dynamics Code: a flexible method for solution of the birth-death equations (2011, background): “A second (and more complicated) description is given by Lovejoy et al. (2004), and it depends also on the nature of the colliding cluster.”
• Uncertainty in global CCN concentrations from uncertain aerosol nucleation and primary emission rates (2008, background): “…(Kulmala et al., 2002; Napari et al., 2002; Anttila et al., 2005; Yu, 2006b) and ion-induced nucleation in which gas-phase ions aid in either binary or ternary nucleation (Yu and Turco, 2001; Laakso et al., 2002; Kazil and Lovejoy, 2004; Lovejoy et al., 2004; Kazil et al., 2006; Yu, 2006a).”
• New parameterization of sulfuric acid‐ammonia‐water ternary nucleation rates at tropospheric conditions (2007, background): “Therefore other nucleation mechanisms, such as ion-induced nucleation [Yu and Turco, 2000; Lee et al., 2003; Laakso et al., 2004; Lovejoy et al., 2004; Eisele et al., 2006; Iida et al., 2006; Yu, 2006a], participation of sulfuric acid in kinetic nucleation and activation mechanism [Kulmala et al.,”
• Ion‐mediated nucleation in the atmosphere: Key controlling parameters, implications, and look‐up table (2010, methodology): “The conclusion of Boy et al. [2008] is not surprising because they used the ion nucleation model similar to that of Lovejoy et al. [2004] , which underpredicts ion nucleation rate by several orders of magnitude [Yu and Turco, 2008].”
• Experimental evidence for the role of ions in particle nucleation under atmospheric conditions (2007, background): “The characteristic time identified above for producing a stable cluster (2 s or less) is well within this limit, a feature not reproduced by the existing ion-induced nucleation models (Yu & Turco 2001; Laakso et al. 2004; Lovejoy et al. 2004).”
• A criterion for new particle formation in the sulfur-rich Atlanta atmosphere (2005, background): “…reported that ion-induced nucleation of sulfuric acid may play a widespread role in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere [Lee et al., 2003; Lovejoy et al., 2004], that the oxidation of organic iodine compounds may be responsible for nucleation over exposed surf zones [Jimenez et al.,…”
• Impact of nucleation on global CCN (2009, background): “…troposphere with neutral binary homogeneous nucleation of sulfuric acid and water, but it is possible that ion-induced nucleation can be the dominant source in UT and possibly significantly contributes to boundary layer nucleation as well (Lovejoy et al., 2004; Kazil et al., 2006; Yu et al., 2008).”

• Cosmic Rays and Climate (2005, background): “Laboratory measurements have shown that ions are indeed capable, under certain conditions, of suppressing or even removing the barrier to nucleation in embryonic molecular clusters of water and sulphuric acid at typical atmospheric concentrations, so that nucleation takes place at a rate simply dete”
