The surface growth of soot is a key process in its mass growth, depending crucially on surface properties. In this work, we directly extract the detailed surface properties, such as surface area, number density of reactive sites on a particle and parameter a, from the microscopic configuration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) clusters. Five representative PAHs, including pyrene (C16H10), coronene (C24H12), ovalene (C32H14), hexabenzocoronene (C42H18) and circumcoronene (C54H18), are used to build the model configurations of nascent soot. We develop a numerical scheme to determine the detailed surface properties based on the approximation of solvent-excluded surface. The assumption of spherical particles is found to introduce a large uncertainty in the estimation of the surface area, and the error can be a factor of 2.5 in the worst case. The number density of atoms or sites on cluster surfaces does not depend on the chemical composition of a particle larger than 2 nm in diameter, and our study indicates that the number density of hydrogen atoms is overestimated by a factor of 3 in the literature. Finally, we propose a new equation for parameter a, which includes the effects of the size of gaseous species in surface reaction, local temperature, particle size and chemical composition.
