- The paper introduces a new model of dust growth in electrically-activated atmospheres via ion interactions. This is significant because contemporary models have never considered electrostatic effects on dust growth nor its impact on cloud formation. The work contributed towards a successful Carnegie Trust grant (RIG007788). By invitation, this work was presented in a seminar at the University of Glasgow (2019); and, as a contributed talk at ESCAMPIG 2018 and the Institute of Physics Plasma Physics Conference 2019. We were pleased to find our work citated by leaders in the field: https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aac215.
