AITKEN NUCLEI

Domain	Definition
Aerospace	The microscopic particles in the atmosphere which serve as condensation nuclei for droplet growth during the rapid adiabatic expansion produced by an Aitken dust counter. These nuclei are both solid and liquid particles whose diameters are of the order of tenths of microns or even smaller.The Aitken nuclei play an important role in atmospheric electrical processes, for they are the particles which capture (by adsorption or other surface electrical processes) small ions and thereby form large ions. In air containing large numbers of Aitken nuclei, the small ion population is small, the large ion population is large, and the air conductivity is low. (references)
