The Origin of Isotope Effects in Sonoluminescence Spectra of Heavy and Light Water

Abstract

Bubble and peak: The isotope effects in the sonoluminescence spectra of light and heavy water under ultrasound indicate the formation of a non-equilibrium plasma inside the collapsing cavitation bubbles. The picture demonstrates the active cavitation zones in water at 204 kHz. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors.
