It is becoming increasingly evident that reactions of gases at solid interfaces play a key role in atmospheric chemistry. However, at the present time, our understanding of the fundamental kinetics and mechanisms of such reactions at interfaces in the atmosphere is rudimentary, at best. However, such data are essential to elucidate the role of these processes in the chemistry of both the stratosphere and troposphere. This research will explore the fundamental kinetics and dynamics of the reactions of solid NaCl, the major component of sea salt particles found in marine areas, with gases such as HNO3 and N2O5 using surface science techniques including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy and laser-induced desorption mass spectrometry. These reactions are believed to contribute to the formation of HCl and ClNO2 respectively. The latter is of particular importance since its photolysis produces chlorine atoms which may compete with OH in initiating the oxidation of organics in the troposphere. These studies will result in a much better understanding of the fundamental parameters controlling these gas-solid processes, which can than be input to models to provide a more realistic and accurate assessment of the role played by such reactions in the atmosphere. In addition, it will establish the utility of modern surface science methodology in elucidating the fundamentals of reactions occurring at interfaces in the atmosphere.

越来越明显的是，气体在固体界面上的反应在大气化学中起着关键作用。 然而，在目前的时间，我们的基本动力学和机制的这种反应在大气中的界面是初步的，充其量。 然而，这些数据对于阐明这些过程在平流层和对流层化学中的作用至关重要。 这项研究将探索固体氯化钠，在海洋地区发现的海盐颗粒的主要成分，与气体，如硝酸和N2 O 5的反应的基本动力学和动力学，使用表面科学技术，包括X射线光电子能谱，高分辨率电子能量损失谱和激光诱导解吸质谱。 这些反应被认为分别有助于HCl和ClNO 2的形成。 后者特别重要，因为它的光解产生氯原子，氯原子可与OH竞争引发对流层中有机物的氧化。 这些研究将使人们更好地了解控制这些气-固过程的基本参数，这些参数可以输入模型，以便对大气中这种反应所起的作用进行更现实和准确的评估。 此外，它将建立现代表面科学方法的效用，阐明在大气界面发生的反应的基本原理。
