Abstract
Challenges remain in predicting the overall atmospheric aerosol effect on the climate and environment. This is particularly true for submicrometer‐sized aerosols, whose effect depends on properties such as the mixing state, hygroscopicity, phase state, and surface tension. The aerosol composition, relative humidity, and temperature of the surrounding environment all influence these properties. Due to the physical and chemical complexity of the aerosol, they can exhibit significant particle‐to‐particle variability. Therefore, experimental tools that can directly study individual aerosols are needed. This chapter focuses on the emerging role of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in directly measuring the mixing state, hygroscopicity, phase state, and surface tension of submicrometer‐sized aerosols. Recent applications of AFM on both model and real sea‐spray aerosols are discussed.
