Product Description
Although first witnessed in the 1930s, sonoluminescence has recently created a stir in the physics community. The mystery of how a low-energy-density sound wave can concentrate enough energy in a small enough volume to cause the emission of light is still unsolved. The first sourcebook on single bubble luminescence, Sonoluminescene is a comprehensive account of the subject from its discovery in 1934 to the present day. The author discusses the multiple theories that have been put forward to explain sonoluminescence, the uses of sonoluminescence, suggestions for future work, and experimental aspects of the topic. Applications include fluid physics, acoustics, pipelines, ultrasonics, and sonochemistry. ... Read more

Product Description
Sonochemistry is studied primarily by chemists andsonoluminescence mainly by physicists, but a single physicalphenomenon - acoustic cavitation - unites the two areas.The physics of cavitation bubble collapse, is relatively wellunderstood by acoustical physicists but remains practically unknown tothe chemists. By contrast, the chemistry that gives rise toelectromagnetic emissions and the acceleration of chemical reactionsis familiar to chemists, but practically unknown to acousticalphysicists. It is just this knowledge gap that the present volumeaddresses.
The first section of the book addresses the fundamentals ofcavitation, leading to a more extensive discussion of the fundamentalsof cavitation bubble dynamics in section two. A section on singlebubble sonoluminescence follows. The two following sections addressthe new scientific discipline of sonochemistry, and the volumeconcludes with a section giving detailed descriptions of theapplications of sonochemistry.
The mixture of tutorial lectures and detailed research articles meansthat the book can serve as an introduction as well as a comprehensiveand detailed review of these two interesting and topical subjects. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sonoluminescence is the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound. The effect was first discovered at the University of Cologne in 1934 as a result of work on sonar. H. Frenzel and H. Schultes put an ultrasound transducer in a tank of photographic developer fluid. They hoped to speed up the development process. Instead, they noticed tiny dots on the film after developing and realized that the bubbles in the fluid were emitting light with the ultrasound turned on. It was too difficult to analyze the effect in early experiments because of the complex environment of a large number of short-lived bubbles. (This experiment is also ascribed to N. Marinesco and J.J. Trillat in 1933, which also credits them with independent discovery). This phenomenon is now referred to as multi-bubble sonoluminescence (MBSL). ... Read more

Excerpt: A phosphor is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of phosphorescence (sustained glowing after exposure to energized particles such as electrons or ultraviolet photons). Phosphors are transition metal compounds or rare earth compounds of various types. The most common uses of phosphors are in CRT displays and fluorescent lights. CRT phosphors were standardized beginning around World War II and designated by the letter "P" followed by a number. Note: Phosphorus, the chemical element, can emit light under certain conditions, but this is due to chemiluminescence, not phosphorescence. A material can emit light either through incandescence, where all atoms radiate, or by luminescence, where only a small fraction of atoms, called emission centers or luminescence centers, emit light. In inorganic phosphors, these inhomogeneities in the crystal str...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=88444 ... Read more

Product Description
Acoustic waves of high amplitude explore the nonlinearity of the medium they propagate in. Acousticians from all over the world discussed the special phenomena thereby brought about in gases, liquids, and solids. They range from shock waves, the rupture of liquids (cavitation), cleaning, cooling, light from sound and sound from light, to chemical synthesis, kidney stone destruction and hemostasis (stopping of bleeding by sound). Topics inluded are: nonlinear wave propagation, wave scattering and interaction, resonators and waveguides, sound beams, sound sources and focusing, thermoacoustics and streaming, waves in solids, microstructured and damaged materials, granular media, metrology, nondestructive testing and evaluation, cavitation bubble dynamics, optic cavitation and aspherical bubble collapse, single bubble sonoluminescence, multi-bubble cavitation and sonoluminescence, sonochemistry, biomedical applications, wave propagation in bubbly liquids. ...

A Fine Book
I'm not sure if I can say that this book is better than Leighton's "The Acoustic Bubble", but I personally have found it to be more enlightening on certain topics (of course Leighton spends some more time on aspects not covered here, so the books really do compliment each other).Although there is not a rigorous treatment of all the versions of the RP equation, the derivation of its basic form is quick and elegant, and you may begin studying complex bubble dynamics right from the start.The less than basic forms of the equation are then introduced with some background on what the new terms accomplish.The section on sonoluminescence is now somewhat dated, but much of it would still be of interest to a newcomer.This is not a textbook, ie, there are no problems to work.Basic knowledge of PDEs is required and knowledge of basic fluid dynamics preferable. ...

Product Description
The principles of the modern physical theory of the effect of ultrasonic and other acoustic fields on chemical reactions are presented. Special attention is given to the influence of acoustic fields on chemical reactions in nonaqueous systems, catalytic processes and reactions involving macromolecules-processes which in recent years have been the object of intensive research. The presentation of the author's new electrical theory of cavitation phenomena and sonochemical reactions and sonoluminescence initiation makes this text particularly interesting and valuable.
Sonochemistry and cavitation is rapidly increasing in importance in modern chemistry as a result of many significant achievements made in recent years. These developments, as well as the fundamental concepts, are detailed and illustrated in this current and comprehensive text. ... Read more
