Nanoscale ferroelectric topologies such as vortices, anti-vortices, bubble patterns etc. are stabilized in thin films by a delicate balance of both mechanical and electrical boundary conditions. A systematic understanding of the phase…
Some of the peculiar electrodynamical effects associated with gauged ``dimension bubbles'' are presented. Such bubbles, which effectively enclose a region of 5d spacetime, can arise from a 5d theory with a compact extra dimension. Bubbles…
This article deals with the issues of global-in-time existence and asymptotic analysis of a fluid-particle interaction model in the so-called bubbling regime. The mixture occupies the physical space $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ which may…
Snapping shrimp produce bubbles that emit light when they collapse. When a bubble collapses so strongly that it emits light, the light emission is usually called sonoluminescence; in the case of the shrimp, it is called…
Coulomb bubbles, though stable against monopole displacement, are unstable at least with respect to quadrupole and octupole distortions. We show that there exists a temperature at which the pressure of the vapor filling the bubble…
The apparatus description for control of the time parameters of photomultipliers with high time resolution is described. For generation of ultrashort light flashes have been used sonoluminescence effect -- emission of the light flashes…
The widening phenomenology of Single Bubble Sonoluminescence (SBSL) is shown to be in good agreement with a new approach to condensed matter, based on the QED coherent interactions. Some remarkable properties of SBSL are shown to emerge…
Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon which is known for some time, relatively easy to produce but still not fully understood. A milestone was discovery of procedure for creating Single Bubble Sonoluminescene (SBSL) \cite{gaitan} in 1989.…
Bubbles and droplets are ubiquitous in many areas of engineering, including microfluidics where they can serve as microreactors for screening of chemical reactions. They are often formed out of a constriction (a microfluidic channel or a…
Surface bubbles have attracted much interest in the past decades. In this article, we propose to explore the lifetime and thinning dynamics of centimetric surface bubbles. We study the impact of the bubbles size as well as that of the…
Confined granular fluids, placed in a shallow box that is vibrated vertically, can achieve homogeneous stationary states thanks to energy injection mechanisms that take place throughout the system. These states can be stable even at high…
In this work, we present the stability theory for inhomogeneous fluids subjected to standing acoustic fields. Starting from the first principles, the stability criterion is established for two fluids of different acoustic impedance…
Sonoluminescence occurs when tiny bubbles rilled with noble gas atoms are driven by a sound wave. Each cycle of the driving field is accompanied by a collapse phase in which the bubble radius decreases rapidly until a short but very strong…
The condensational growth of spherical water microdroplets is studied in a laboratory setup and with a mathematical model. In the experiment, droplet clusters are kept in a freely levitated state within an upward-oriented flow of water…
Single bubble sonoluminescence has been experimentally produced through a novel approach of optimized sound excitation. A driving consisting of a first and second harmonic with selected amplitudes and relative phase results in an increase…
Bubbles at the air-liquid interface are important for many natural and industrial processes. Factors influencing the lifetime of such surface bubbles have been investigated extensively, yet the impact of dissolved gas concentration remains…
The evolution of spherically symmetric unstable scalar field configurations (``bubbles'') is examined for both symmetric (SDWP) and asymmetric (ADWP) double-well potentials. Bubbles with initial static energies $E_0\la E_{{\rm crit}}$,…
It is possible to condense a macroscopic number of bosons into a single mode. Adding interactions the question arises whether the condensate is stable. For repulsive interaction the answer is positive with regard to the ground-state, but…
Wave localization is a ubiquitous phenomenon. It refers to situations that transmitted waves in scattering media are trapped in space and remain confined in the vicinity of the initial site until dissipated. Here we report a phase…
Careful re-examination of typical experimental data made it possible to show that the UV continua observed in multi-bubble (MBSL) and single-bubble (SBSL) sonoluminescence spectra have the same physical nature - radiative dissociation of…
