Abstract
The effect of solvent deuteration on the multibubble sonoluminescence (SL) of an aqueous solution of terbium chloride was studied. The dependence of the intensity of the characteristic SL of the TbIII ion on the composition of an H2O-D2O mixture is similar to an analogous dependence of its photoluminescence (PL) but with a much smaller isotope effect. In pure D2O, the SL intensity increases by 4 times only compared to the SL in water, while the PL intensity increases by 10 times. The mechanism of inner-bubble excitation of lanthanide ions is considered. According to this mechanism, an additional “heterogeneous” channel of quenching of excited TbIII ions appears, which is absent for PL. The proposed model satisfactorily describes the experimental data on the effect of solvent deuteration on the SL intensity.
