About

"LIIscience.org exists to foster communications about the physics and chemistry of laser-induced incandescence (LII) of nanoparticles. The focus is on aspects of making this powerful diagnostic quantitative. These aspects include modeling of the nanoscale heat and mass transfer processes, experimental design, signal evaluation, and interlaboratory comparisons. Unless otherwise specified, the nanoparticle under investigation with LII is combustion-generated soot. Although applications are referred to occasionally, and may be discussed in the forums, there are many other outlets better suited for communications on the applications of LII."

Meetings

The LII community gathers routinely at the International Discussion Meeting and Workshop on Laser-induced incandescence: Quantitative interpretation, modelling, application. Workshops began in 2005.

Publications

Below is a list of landmark and review papers in the field that cover LII basics, experiment configurations, and modeling.

    Reference conditions

    Target flames

    Within the LII workshop the participants have agreed on target flames to facilitate the exchange of data between experiments and modeling and to be used for comparison of experimental equipment in different labs.

    Three target flames were chosen that are widespread in combustion labs. Please note that the volumetric flow rates of the McKenna burner are reported with respect to a reference condition of 0°C and 1 bar, while for the other two burners, the reference condition is 21°C and 1 bar.

    2. Gülder burner
    3. Santoro burner
