To answer Dale and yours questions regarding what would drive 
electrons to the center of a void collapse, let me see what I can 
think up here (educated guessing right now.)  First a geometric
argument.  If a void is being filled (say its a vacuum), a lot of
matter is moving towards the center of the void already.  That's
a simple implosion.  The question, then, is whether 1. electrons 
are liberated from the void-material interface during the implosion,
2. are they focused to the center of the void during the collapse.
(This may not be the case). 
To answer the first, think of the dotted balloon again.  When it's 
inflated,  we have several dots of equal spacing.  As it deflates,
we remove dots to maintain the equal spacing. Really it would be
like the dots are pushed off.  All ready we have a possible source
for a quantum transition as the system re-arranges (rotational and
vibrational). But who is pushing who.  There is a three dimensional
aspect to this such that forces are focused to the center. (That is
as the surrounding 'lattice' relaxes the energy is directed to the
void-material interface).  Depending on materials and such, the 
focused forces may be enough to ionize the material-void interface 
during the collapse.  This would be especially true if the collapse
is forced by an external source (with possible resonance conditions
applicable). 
   Would the ionized electrons be focused to the center?  I think
statistically they would be. For one, we already have imparted
some momentum to the material-void interface, and it's directed
to the center of the void.  That momentum is transferred by lattice 
electrons already, so if the collapse does ionize the inside surface,
it would seem to me, they would be forced into the direction of the
center. 

Well anyway.  I'm still trying to get a mental model of how sono 
works.  It's a lot of fun.

Have fun,
