  • textbook by Vehkamäki: Classical Nucleation Theory in Multicomponent Systems, Springer Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2006
  • review article: Markku Kulmala, Hanna Vehkamäki, Tuukka Petäjä, Miikka Dal Maso, Antti Lauri, Veli-Matti Kerminen, Wolfram Birmili, Peter H. McMurry:
    Formation and growth rates of ultrafine atmospheric particles: A review of observations.Journal of Aerosol Science, Vol. 35, pp. 143-176, 2004.
