Sonoluminescence

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Characterization of Cavitation Bubbles and Sonoluminescence

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((ULSONO))

Abstract

The previous chapter presented physical characterizations of cavitation bubbles on the microscopic scale, looking, e.g., on the bubble shape, on its stability and evolution, and on the way bubble dynamics can explain energy focusing that leads to sonochemistry and sonoluminescence. These latter two phenomena are macroscopic manifestations of acoustic cavitation and can also serve to characterize bubbles and their activity.
