This paper summarizes the results of Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Incandescence (TiRe-LII) measurements of iron nanoparticles in He, Ne, Ar, N_2, CO, CO_2, and N_2O. The iron nanoparticles are formed in solution and then aerosolized with a pneumatic atomizer using various carrier gases, so the nanoparticle size is the same for each aerosol and the TiRe-LII signal only differs due to the different thermal accommodation coefficient (TAC). Thermal accommodation coefficients for the Fe-Ar, and Fe-N_2 aerosols, derived from molecular dynamics using ab initio potentials, are compared with values inferred from the TiRe-LII measurements.
