Response to comment on:'Phenomenological description of mobility of nm- and sub nm-sized charged aerosol particles in electric field'

摘要

Our paper (Shandakov et al.,2005) is devoted to investigations of electrical mobility based on the phenomenological consideration of collisions between a particle and gas molecules in the rough sphere approximation taking into account the energy exchange between translational and rotational degrees of freedom,ion-dipole interactions and sticking conditions between these objects in the approximation of random tangential forces.Li and Wang (2005) assert that they (2003a,b) "carried out perhaps an even more detailed and rigorous gas-kinetic theory analysis for the transport properties of nanoparticles" and their MD simulations did not confirm the influences of particle rotation and the inherent surface roughness on gas-particle momentum transfer as proposed in our model.We disagree with their assessments.
