Based on rective molecular dynamics simualtions of acetylene pyrolysis in collaboration with Dr. Eirini Goudeli's group at University of Melbourne and Dr. George Kelesidis, we have been able to synthetically create incipient soot particles from scratch. The first set of results of the analysis of these atomic structure of soot is now published in two papers.
In the first paper (published in JPC-A; preprint) we investigated the internal structure of incipient soot at an atomic level and in the second paper (published in Fuel; preprint) we presented detailed calculations of and correlations between various physical and chemical properties of soot.
