AbstractA small gas bubble in a liquid, when driven by intense ultrasound, collapses and emits light in a process called Single-Bubble Sonoluminescence (SBSL). While the dynamics of driven bubbles are well studied, less is known of the physical conditions in the gas or whether it is necessary to include ionisation in simpler studies of bubble dynamics. In this study, a model was derived from Rayleigh-Plesset dynamics, a van der Waals equation of state and the first law of thermodynamics (including interfacial heat transfer and ionisation). Stronger model ionisation reduced the maximum collapse temperature, and altered other collapse characteristics. Chaotic parameter regions are proximal to, but not coincident with, known stable SL regions. Resonant behaviour was only markedly affected by ionisation close to these chaotic regions.

Single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) is a light-emission event from a stably oscillating bubble trapped at the pressure anti-node of a standing ultrasound wave, a phenomenon that has been studied intensively for a decade [1]. Using ceramic piezoelectric transducers PZT, we are able to irradiate a liquid inside a resonator flask by means of an ultrasound wave, and we eventually capture a bubble inside a restricted domain in the aqueous medium. The trapped bubble will expand and collapse at an accelerated rate, emitting light. To capture the bubble we perform some experiments using differently sized and shaped piezoelectric transducers, and we manage to verify their capacitance and impedance behavior in our sonoluminescence circuit. Our experiments were performed at Laboratory of Experimental and Applied Physics (LaFEA) at CEFET-RJ.
