Retrieved literature describes mechanoluminescent fluids and sonoluminescence phenomena, demonstrating that certain liquid systems emit light in response to vibrational or mechanical energy input.
Radiative processes of interest in single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) studies, such as electron-atom and electron-ion bremsstrahlung; electron-atom polarization bremsstrahlung; recombination radiation; radiative attachment of electrons to hydrogen and oxygen atoms; and charge exchange, ion-atom bremsstrahlung and ion-atom association radiation in helium, are considered and their relative importance is discussed. We argue that processes involving strictly neutral species, e.g., collision-induced emission, are most likely insignificant for the continuum emission of SBSL. However, we include t
