In [7], the effect of nanosecond voltage pulses on the breakdown of distilled water was studied with the justification of
electrostriction as a factor in the development of optical density perturbations and rarefaction of water initiating the breakdown.
It is argued that this force is related to
electrostriction [41,78] and can be taken as a function of the square of the voltage [44, 48,79].

SBS occurs in any medium (liquid, solids, gases, plasmas) by interaction of laser light and a coherent density grating caused primarily (but not exclusively) by
electrostriction.
This suggests that at higher temperature the
electrostriction effect of water reduces and water molecules in secondary solvation layer release into the bulk of the water.
Clearly, more quantitative experimental and theoretical studies similar to those conducted on NLC are needed, and are currently underway in order to elucidate and quantify the dynamical roles played by Maxwell stress, multi-photon absorptions, heating,
electrostriction and other possible index changing mechanisms in BPLC.
EAR borrows the principle of
electrostriction, which causes materials to change shape in an electric field, so that these vibrations can be isolated in samples as small as a single nanoparticle.
However this name is more suitable for internal OIF arising due to an inhomogeneity of the
electrostriction pressure [21].
