We observed the line emissions of trivalent terbium [Tb(III)] ions during multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL) in the aqueous solutions of terbium chloride (TbCl) under argon gas atmosphere. The line intensities of excited Tb(III) ions increased with TbCl concentration(mass percentage) in aqueous solutions. This phenomenon was interpreted qualitatively by numerically computing the Tb(III) line intensities in one sonoluminescing bubble among the cavitation bubbles in a liquid. The driving pressure for this sonoluminescing bubble was obtained by numerically solving the cavitation dynamic equation and bubble-pulsation equation. The Tb(III) ion line intensities obtained from the sonoluminescing bubble were attained by solving computing fluid dynamics equations and the spectral radiation formula.

In the context of molecular imaging, the present work explores an innovative platform made of lipid-coated nanocrystals as contrast-enhanced agent for both ultrasound imaging and sonoluminescence. At first, the dynamics of gas bubbles generation and cavitation under insonation with either pristine or lipid-coated nanocrystals (ZnO-Lip) are described, and the differences between the two colloidal systems are highlighted. These ZnO-Lip show an unprecedented ability to assist cavitation, which is reflected in enhanced sonoluminescent light emission with respect to the pristine nanocrystals or the pure water.

Light emissions from cavitating liquids serve as a diagnostic tool for chemical activity, bubble collapse conditions, or excited species. Here we demonstrate the influence of mechanical stirring on sonoluminescence (SL) and sonochemiluminescence (SCL) emissions emerging in the presence of dissolved sodium salts and luminol in different sonicated liquids. In the systems investigated, driven in the 20-40 kHz range, stirring can change the spatial distribution of blue/white broadband SL emissions and of the orange sodium D-line emission, as well as their relative intensities.

Article Synopsis
- Most research on sonoluminescence and sonochemistry focuses on frequencies above 20 kHz, leaving a gap in understanding bubble dynamics at audible frequencies.
- The study introduces a hybrid modeling approach that combines complex and simpler models to predict heat and mass transfer in bubbles influenced by sound at 17.8 kHz.
- Results show significant deviations between the models at lower frequencies, with the simpler model overestimating bubble size and trapped vapor but underestimating temperature and pressure, highlighting the need for more research in this frequency range.
Multibubble sonoluminescence in supercooled water.

Article Synopsis
- Cavitation in supercooled water was induced by short ultrasound pulses at 20 kHz, allowing for the observation of both cavitation and crystallization events using a high-speed camera.
- The study found that applying short bursts of ultrasound at moderate power significantly increased the likelihood of water remaining in a liquid state instead of crystallizing, making it suitable for assessing sonoluminescence (SL) from cavitation bubbles.
- The intensity of SL events showed a slight increase with lower temperatures, consistent with existing temperature dependence theories, while simulations suggest that bubble collapse peak temperature varies with supercooling, potentially decreasing after reaching an optimal level.

Article Synopsis
- Cavitation erosion is a significant problem in aviation, navigation, and hydraulic machinery, especially in deep ocean environments, necessitating research on its mechanisms and resistance in various materials under high pressure.
- This study utilized a focused ultrasound transducer to create a confined cavitation bubble cloud and examined the erosion effects on materials like copper, stainless steel, and tungsten at different hydrostatic pressures.
- Results showed that higher pressures intensify erosion, increase the depth of cavitation pits, and lead to melting in materials with lower melting points, providing a new evaluation method for material resistance against cavitation erosion.
