  2. Sometimes we meet statements like this: “Results of the paper A differ from results of the paper B because authors of A use themobility diameterbut authors of B usemass diameter”. Therefore, let’s start froman introductory explanation 2/54

  4. from: Kulkarni, Baron Willeke Aerosol measurment A selection of diameters All these definitions expect that the diameterof a spherical particle is a well defined quantity. 3/54

  5. Fine nanoparticles and clustershave “atmospheres”, no solid surface Similar problem: how to define the diameter of Earth including the atmosphere? 4/54

  6. Another similar problem: Atomic radii are required when assembling the crystal models. The apparent radius of the same atom is a variable depending on the bonds. E.g. Na in the metallic natrium is much bigger than in a NaCl crystal. Slater (1964) proposed a specific mean radius as a universal parameter: Atom H O N Na Cs 2×RS:nm 0.05 0.12 0.13 0.36 0.52 The Slater radius of an orbital is the distance where the density of probability to find the electron has maximum. However the mean square deviation of real distances in crystals from the Slater distances is still about 0.012 nm. 5/54

  7. NB: ρ = density of bulk matter ρ = density of particle matter An array of packed spheres has the density of 0.52 ρ in case of the simple cubic latticeand 0.74 ρin case of the closest packing.

  8. A key to understanding The question about the diameter of the Earth including the atmosphere requires definition of the height of the atmosphere. A widely used measure of the height of the atmosphere is the isothermal scale-height: the height of an apparent column of air of same density as the air on the sea level.This is about 8 km. The concept of the mass density of a cluster can be compared with the concept of the scale-height of the atmosphere. This comparison is a key to understanding the concept of the mass diameter. 6/54

  9. Conclusions Mobility diameter is defined as the diameter of a hard sphere of the same mobility as the considered particle. Thus the mobility diameter of a spherical particle is just the same as its geometric diameter. We are not able directly measure thenanoparticle geometric diameter. One way is to use of an estimateaccording to a specific mobility model dM = gM (p, T, Z), where gM is inverse function of the model M and Z is measured mobility. The choice of the specific model is free, one could choose even plain Stokes or Newton. 9/54

  10. Mobility and mobility model Assumption:the mean drift velocity v is proportional to the drag force F. Mechanical mobility B = v/F, electrical mobility Z = v/EF = Eqfollows inZ = qB. We haveq = eandZ = eB. A model of mobility is an algorithm that uses parameters of the particle and the air (pressure, temperature, diameter etc.) and issues an estimate of the particle mobility: Z ≈ ZM = fM (p, T, d) The inverse model d ≈ dM = gM(p, T, Z) is to be mathematically derived from the direct algorithm. 7/54

  14. Who made the Millikan model? Robert Andrews Millikan MoritzWeber Ebenezer Cunningham Martin Knudsen (no Jens) 16/54

  15. Millikan model Millikan 1923: A = 0.864 B = 0.29 C = 1.25 Davies 1945: A = 1.257 B = 0.400 C = 0.55 Allen & Raabe 1985: A = 1.142 B = 0.558 C = 0.999 Tammet 1995: A = 1.2 B = 0.5 C = 1 Kim et al. 2005: A = 1.165 B = 0.483 C = 0.997 Jung et al. 2011: A = 1.165 B = 0.480 C = 1.001 Kim, J.H., Mulholland, G.W, Kukuck, S.R., Pui, D.Y.H.

  17. Shortcomings of the Millikan model Original model Z = ZMillikan (p, T, d) does not consider: ► size and mass of gas molecules, ► polarization interaction between ions and gas molecules, ► Van der Waals interaction, ► transition from diffuse scattering of molecules to the elastic-specular collisions. Standard collision diameter of “air molecules” is0.37 nm, Van der Waals diameter is 0.31 nm, diameter of air molecules in the Millikan model is 0.00 nm. 21/54

(2003) Drag force, diffusion coefficient, and electric mobility of small particles. II. Application. Phys. Rev. E 68, 061207. Shandakov, S.D., Nasibulin, A.G., Kauppinen, E.I.

(2009) Transport properties of small spherical particles. Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 1161, 484–493. 24/54

  20. Poor success of new models The model by Li and Wang (2003) is based on the most developed theory. However, Google did not find any application of this model in aerosol measurements. The same can be told about the model by Shandakov el al. (2005). Few references are found only in introductions of the papers. Reasons? 1. No simple computing algorithm available. 2. No comprehensible interpretation available. 26/54

  21. Poor success of new models The model by Tammet (1995) have had few applications. The detailed algorithm is available, but long and cumbersome. There is no simple interpretation. Mäkelä et al. (1996) made an attempt to find a simplified formal approximation: 27/54

  22. Alternative approach In sake of convenience and accustomed interpretation:a new model could be designed on basis of the Millikan equation updated only with a diameter extension Δd: Z = ZMillikan (d + Δd) The diameter extensioncan be considered as a function of the particle mass diameter,and when required, of the air temperature and pressure: Δd = f (d) or Δd = f (p, T, d). 29/54

  39. Examples of a simple and a sophisticated exercise A simple exercise: The mobility of a particle depends in some extent on the air temperature and pressure. Create a worksheet and diagrams, which illlustrate the effect of temperature and pressure for 1 nm and 100 nm particles according to different size-mobility models. An uphill task: The present calculator can convert the diameter to mobility and mobility to diameter but has no tool for manipulating the particle mobility and size distributions. Compile similar calculator which allows to convert the particle mobility distribution to the size distribution and vice versa using different size-mobility models. 0/54
