Figure Lengend Snippet: The dynamic behavior of microbubbles within microchannels under short pulse ultrasound exposure with a flow rate of 75 µL/min. (A) High speed recordings of bubble population dynamics and spatial distribution under 10 consecutive ultrasound pulse exposure (pulse length 40 µs, pulse interval 1 ms) at 0.25 MPa and 0.5 MPa acoustic pressure. (B-C) The enlarged view of the blue and green dashed box in (A) showing the displacement, volume change and coalescence of individual microbubbles immediately before and after the application of each ultrasound pulse in a 10-pulse train at 0.25 MPa and 0.5 MPa acoustic pressure, respectively. The ultrasound pulse arrives at t = 0 and repeats every 1000 μs. (D) The cumulative displacement of the two microbubbles labeled with red arrows in (B) (0.25 MPa) and (C) (0.5 MPa) as a function of time. The exemplary bubble at 0.25 MPa (as shown in B) stopped displacement on the 3rd pulse after it grew to a certain size and then kept oscillating at the same location.

Figure Lengend Snippet: The dynamic behavior of microbubbles within microchannels under long pulse ultrasound exposure at a flow rate of 75 µL/min. (A) High speed recordings of the bubble dynamics under one long pulse exposure (pulse length 0 – 9.090 ms) at 0.25 MPa and 0.5 MPa acoustic pressure. Ultrasound begins at t = 0. (B) The enlarged view of the bubble dynamics in the green dashed box in (A) showing the displacement and coalescence of microbubbles and (C) a typical example showing the gradual clustering of microbubbles and (D) surface oscillation of an individual microbubble during the long pulse ultrasound exposure at 0.25 MPa. (E) The enlarged view of the bubble dynamics in the blue dashed box in (A) showing the displacement, oscillation and coalescence of microbubbles during the long pulse ultrasound exposure at higher acoustic pressure of 0.50 MPa. (F) Enlarged view of the evolution of the microbubble outlined by brown color (E) at different timings and stages. S1: the microbubble was generated by coalescence of bubble clusters. S2: notable and stable oscillation of the microbubble in the acoustic field. S3: coalescence of the microbubble with another nearby bubble. S4: no discernable oscillation and displacement at this stage even though ultrasound is still on. Please note that S3 has a smaller magnification. (G) Time evolution of the measured bubble diameter corresponding to stage S1-S4 shown in panel F. The inset shows the enlarged view of bubble diameter oscillation in S2.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) High-speed sequence of the first oscillation of a cavitation bubble generated close to a solid boundary in side view in the cavitation erosion regime. The timestamp t = 0 is defined as the frame closest to the bubble generation. Then, the bubble reaches maximum size after 46 μ s, and collapses in a toroidal shape at t = 95 μ s . The toroidal shape close to collapse is only visible in normal view, e.g., . The scale bar is 400 μ m . The whole video is presented in Supplementary Movie 1, and a higher frame rate video of a similar event in Supplementary Movie 2. (b) Normalized light intensity emitted during bubble collapse near a boundary as a function of the non-dimensional distance γ with added erosion rate measurements from for comparison. In inset, representation of the non-dimensional distance parameter γ = h / R max in the experiment, where h is the distance of the laser focus from the boundary, and R max the bubble radius at maximum expansion, measured perpendicular to the surface.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Bubble collapses in close proximity of a quartz surface ( γ = 0 . 11 ± 0 . 01 ), leading to erosion and sonoluminescence. (a) High-speed camera frames leading to the bubble collapse with shock wave and sonoluminescence emission, as well as the separately detected positions of erosion marked with red arrows. The timing of the earlier illumination pulse in the frame closest to the collapse is a zero reference in relation to the ToA measurements (shown in overlay), denoted using a 0* sign. (b) and (c) High-speed camera frames closest to collapse for two different events at the same experimental setting, but with different outcomes compared to (a) due to significant statistical variations. Relative timings of collapses and sonoluminescence light time of arrival (ToA - from TPX3CAM, see text) are as following for each collapse spot: (a) Top: –30 ns & –35 ns; Bottom: –10 ns & 0 ns; (b) Top: 0 ns & –; Bottom: 40 ns & 40 ns; (c) Top: –60 ns & –50 ns; Bottom: 20 ns & –. The number pairs are always formed as “collapse timing & ToA”. The precision of collapse timing measurement is ± 10 ns , the precision of ToA ± 5 ns , and – signifies no data point available. The corresponding videos in normal-view (5 MHz framing rate) and side-view (144 kHz framing rate) are presented in Supplementary Movies 3–8.
