abstract = {The hygroscopic growth and droplet activation of uncoated
soot particles and such coated with succinic acid and
sulfuric acid were investigated during the IN-11 campaign at
the Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere
(AIDA) facility. A GFG-1000 soot generator applying either
nitrogen or argon as carrier gas and a miniCAST soot
generator were utilized to generate soot particles.
Different organic carbon (OC) to black carbon (BC) ratios
were adjusted for the CAST-soot by varying the fuel to air
ratio. The hygroscopic growth was investigated by means of
the mobile Leipzig Aerosol Cloud Interaction Simulator
(LACIS-mobile) and two different Hygroscopicity Tandem
Differential Mobility Analyzers (HTDMA, VHTDMA). Two Cloud
Condensation Nucleus Counter (CCNC) were applied to measure
the activation of the particles. For the untreated soot
particles neither hygroscopic growth nor activation was
observed at a supersaturation of $1\%,$ with exception of a
partial activation of GFG-soot generated with argon as
carrier gas. Coatings of succinic acid lead to a detectable
hygroscopic growth of GFG-soot and enhanced the activated
fraction of GFG- (carrier gas: argon) and CAST-soot, whereas
no hygroscopic growth of the coated CAST-soot was found.
Sulfuric acid coatings led to an OC-content dependent
hygroscopic growth of CAST-soot. Such a dependence was not
observed for activation measurements. Coating with sulfuric
acid decreased the amount of Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbons (PAH), which were detected by AMS-measurements
in the CAST-soot, and increased the amount of substances
with lower molecular weight than the initial PAHs. We assume
that these reaction products increased the hygroscopicity of
the coated particles in addition to the coating substance
itself.},
