Vapor Bubble Luminescence From Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vent Minerals and Other Hot Solids

Abstract

Vapor bubble luminescence, first notice when a jet of superheated steam enters cold water, has been observed when certain hot solids, 300 degrees C, are dropped into room temperature water. The materials observed include several deep sea hydrothermal vent minerals, basalt, iron, and copper.
