Abstract
LIGHT emission, resulting from the application of high d.c. fields, has been reported for insulating liquids containing fluorescent materials in solution1,2, and for n-hexane by us3. Further, a change of refractive index has been observed between electrodes in hexane when a voltage pulse was applied across them4.
