為了瞭解單氣泡聲致發光實驗的發光機制，光譜的量測是一個重點；藉由它，可以知道發光區域小於氣泡大小，然而實驗仍然無法直接量到最高溫度。目前理論對於最高溫的預測尚有待商確，也無法清楚預測發光區域的大小。我們依據震波理論，分析震波的行進，最後藉由考慮凡德瓦力的作用和能量守恆，定性上以較直覺的方式，初步解決了這兩個難題。

To understand the light emission mechanism in single-bubble sonoluminescence experiment, the spectra are a key source of information. They already reveal that the light emission region is smaller than the bubble size. Theorists have been trying hard to predict the highest temperature and the size of light emission region. This is the main goal of my thesis work. According to the shock-wave theory, we analyzed the propagation of the shock wave. Then we take into account the van der Waals force and energy conservation to both analytically and numerically elucidate how the light emission region and its temperature distribution evolve. In the end, we are able to obtain the highest temperature intuitively and qualitatively.
