Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-18349-8, published online 29 August 2022
The original version of this Article contained errors. The particle size in Figures 3 and 5 was incorrectly calculated. This slightly affected the particle charge. The corrected particle sizes are 400 nm, 600 nm and 1100 nm and the corrected particle charge distributions are shown in the figures.
As the result, in the Characterization results, under the subheading ‘Size amplification aided aerosol charger (SAAC)’,
“When processed as log-normal, mean geometric charge values of 2300, 2900 and 3700 were fit to the distributions for initial sizes of 0.3 µm, 0.5 µm and 1.0 µm, respectively.”
now reads:
“When processed as log-normal, mean geometric charge values of 3600, 4000 and 4400 were fit to the distributions for initial sizes of 0.4 µm, 0.6 µm and 1.1 µm, respectively.”
The original Article has been corrected.
