Particle Size Distribution (PSD) analysis of nanoparticles ranging from several to hundreds of nanometers (nm) in diameter offers a possible method for the quantitative monitoring of plasma processes. However, conventional Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer (PBMS) systems designed for PSD analysis require pressures greater than hundreds of millitorrs for operation, which limits their applicability to modern semiconductor processes that require a medium vacuum.

Widely used analytical models, such as the non-interacting hard-sphere (NHS) and central field (CF) models, offer fast and straightforward predictions for bimolecular collision rate coefficients. However, their accuracy varies depending on the interaction strength between the collision partners. The NHS model neglects long-range forces, leading to underperformance in strongly interacting systems, while the CF model assumes point-like particles, reducing its reliability in weakly interacting systems. The recently developed interacting hard-sphere (IHS) model (Yang et al., 2023) addresses these limitations by incorporating both long-range interactions and the finite sizes of the colliding species. Despite the widespread use of these models, there is limited guidance on their applicability across different systems. In this work, we systematically evaluated the NHS, CF, and IHS models and propose a practical rule of thumb for selecting the most appropriate model. We applied this rule of thumb to a range of collision systems with varying interaction strengths and validated it against classical atomistic force field molecular dynamics simulations. Our findings show that the IHS model most accurately reproduces molecular dynamics-derived collision rate coefficients and smoothly converges to the NHS and CF models in the weak and strong interaction limits, respectively. Moreover, we find that the simpler CF model is sufficiently accurate for most systems at ambient conditions.

A fully coupled, or two-way coupling approach, is compared with a computationally efficient one-way coupling method.

The charge distribution of widely used bipolar diffusion aerosol charging is affected by the electrical mobility and mass of ions. In this study, we developed and evaluated a concentric cylindrical double dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) bipolar charger, and investigated the impact of measurement conditions on electrical mobility and mass of charging ions. The size-resolved chemical composition of ions produced by the DBD charger was analyzed using a high-resolution half-mini differential mobility analyzer coupled to an atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The effects of the discharge gas, carrier gas and relative humidity (RH) on ion properties were evaluated.

The ion mobility distribution varied with the type of carrier gas and its relative humidity, but was not sensitive to discharge gas or its flowrate. The measured charge distribution using the DBD charger was in a good agreement with Wiedensohler's approximation (Wiedensohler, 1988), and the theoretically predicted charge distribution, calculated from the measured ion properties, was also consistent with the experimental results. Only minor variations with a relative uncertainty of 12.1% and 9.5% for positive and negative particles, respectively, in singly charged particle fractions were expected among different measurement conditions.

This study conducted a fundamental study on the impact of horizontal wind velocity on the PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> sampling efficiency of low-cost PM sensors in a wind tunnel using NaCl and dust test particles. Results indicated that as wind velocity increased (0.35–3.26 m/s), the sampling flow rate and sampling efficiency of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> decreased for both sensors. To calibrate the effect of the wind velocity on the sampling efficiency, a theoretical prediction model was developed with predicted results in good agreement with the experimental data.
