Peter's comment ("bubbles need some liquid") raises an interesting point -
the SCF - or supercritical fluid.This is a virtual fluid, and since it is a phase change - should be subject to some kind of cavitation-like effects. For instance, a useful SCF in industry - CO2 - is routinely used for its solvent properties and can be cavitated. I did a quick search and this pops up: Cavitation-Induced Reactions in High-Pressure Carbon Dioxide http://www.sciencemag.org/content/298/5600/1969.abstract ...indicating that sonochemistry works with SCFs - so one wonders if SCFs have been tried in experiments for sonofusion effects. Also methanol-SCF is used to make biodiesel. BTW - ethanol, methanol and many HCs would be candidates - deuterated or not.
