fluid that emits light?
« on: March 26, 2008, 02:18:09 PM »
hello there, i'm just wondering if there is a fluid out there that emits light when a electrical current is passed through it preferably non toxic?

thanks

Dear Debug;

Are you looking for something like:   "Electroluminescence”?
As far as I know such is for Liquids not known, because Liquids don’t “know” any “Band-Gap” of such kind as “SemiConductors” do.


Good Luck!

hi thanks for the quick reply, yeah i was looking at electroluminance but it seemed to be purely within the realm of phosphors and therefore didn't really work for what i was considering. so there are no fluids out there at the moment that emit light when electrically charged?

thanks again

Dear Debug;

For the whole things you have to remember:  -
    that in Liquids and an “Electrical Field” transportation of mater would have as a Consequence, because at least induced Dipoles would exist, (about real Charging we must never want to talk), either in the Ground-State or in the Excited-State.
And in case of alternate Fields there would only be some heating, and for emitting Light that would nearly never be sufficient.
Consequence (in my opinion):  Immobilisation seems to be required!

But who knows, once a day?

Good Luck!
