Abstract (Avoided) crossings are ubiquitous in physics and are connected to many physical phenomena such as hidden symmetries, the Berry phase, entanglement, Landau–Zener processes, the onset of chaos, etc. A pedagogical approach to cataloging (avoided) crossings has been proposed in the past, using matrices whose eigenvalues avoid or cross as a function of some parameter. The approach relies on the mathematical tool of the discriminant, which can be calculated from the characteristic polynomial of the matrix, and whose roots as a function of the parameter being varied yield the locations as well as degeneracies of the (avoided) crossings. In this article we consider matrices whose symmetries force two or more eigenvalues to be degenerate across the entire range of variation of the parameter of interest, thus leading to an identically vanishing discriminant. To show how this case can be handled systematically, we introduce a perturbation to the matrix and calculate the roots of the discriminant in the limit as the perturbation vanishes. We show that this approach correctly generates a nonzero ‘reduced’ discriminant that yields the locations and degeneracies of the (avoided) crossings. We illustrate our technique using the matrix Hamiltonian for benzene in Hückel theory, which has recently been discussed in the context of (avoided) crossings in its spectrum.
(避免)交叉在物理学中无处不在,并且与许多物理现象有关,如隐藏对称性、Berry相位、纠缠、朗道-齐纳过程、混沌的开始等。过去已经提出了一种编目(避免)交叉的教学方法,使用特征值避免或交叉的矩阵作为某些参数的函数。该方法依赖于判别式的数学工具,它可以从矩阵的特征多项式中计算出来,其根作为参数变化的函数产生(避免的)交叉的位置和简并度。在本文中,我们考虑其对称性迫使两个或多个特征值在整个参数变化范围内退化的矩阵,从而导致相同消失的判明式。为了说明如何系统地处理这种情况,我们在矩阵中引入一个扰动,并在扰动消失时计算极限中判别式的根。我们证明了这种方法正确地产生了一个非零的“简化”判别式,它产生了(避免的)交叉点的位置和简并度。我们使用h ckel理论中苯的矩阵哈密顿量来说明我们的技术,该理论最近在其光谱(避免)交叉的背景下进行了讨论。

Abstract In Radiation Physics classes, point sources are typically used, for which it is relatively easy to describe the signal obtained by a radiation detector, such as the NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. The use of large extended radiation sources is generally avoided due to the mathematical complexity that their description may involve. However, the use of Monte Carlo simulation methods allows this limitation to be overcome. Potassium chloride, containing the 40K isotope, is an ideal candidate for carrying out this type of experiment. The source activity is obtained through the detection of the 1460.8 keV gamma- photon emitted in the 40K decay. In the first experiment, a cylindrical container is used, placing the NaI(Tl) detector in its center and filling the remaining space with potassium chloride. In a second, more complex case, a large radioactive source consisting of a container filled with a mixture of sand and potassium chloride, with the NaI(Tl) detector placed in the center of the mixture, is used. In this case, the mass of potassium chloride is approximately 1/5 of the sand mass. In both experiments, the detection efficiency is obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. A careful analysis of the experimental data allows to obtain a good agreement between the measured and calculated value of the activity.
在辐射物理课程中,点源通常被使用,因为它相对容易描述由辐射探测器(如NaI(Tl)闪烁探测器)获得的信号。由于其描述可能涉及的数学复杂性,通常避免使用大型扩展辐射源。然而,使用蒙特卡罗模拟方法可以克服这一限制。含有40K同位素的氯化钾是进行这类实验的理想候选者。通过探测在40K衰变中发射的1460.8 keV伽马光子,获得了源活度。在第一个实验中,使用一个圆柱形容器,将NaI(Tl)探测器放置在其中心,并用氯化钾填充剩余空间。在第二种更复杂的情况下,使用一个由装满沙子和氯化钾混合物的容器组成的大型放射源,将NaI(Tl)探测器放置在混合物的中心。在这种情况下,氯化钾的质量大约是沙子质量的1/5。在这两个实验中,检测效率都是通过蒙特卡罗模拟得到的。对实验数据的仔细分析可以使活度的测量值和计算值很好地吻合。

A hydraulic energy flow within the moving Earth 在移动的地球内部的水力能量流

Abstract We consider the Earth moving through empty space at 30 km/s (in the sun’s frame of reference). Associated with this motion is a convective flow of kinetic and internal energy. Since there is high pressure inside the earth, and since the earth is moving, there is yet another “hydraulic” energy flow. This latter is what this article is about. Although this energy flow is huge, it is not addressed in the textbooks. The reason is that for the explanation one needs a concept which is not introduced in traditional presentations of classical gravitation: the gravitomagnetic field. The corresponding theory, gravitoelectromagnetism, was formulated in 1893 by Heaviside in analogy to Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism.

We discuss the question of what are the sources and sinks of this hydraulic, non-convective energy flow. To answer the question, we need to study the energy flow density distribution within the gravitational field. In doing so, we will make some interesting observations. The energy flow within the field is twice as large as it should be to transfer the field energy from one side of the Earth to the other. The excess flow goes back through the matter of the Earth.

Since our readers may not be familiar with Heaviside’s theory, we first treat the electromagnetic analogue of our problem and then translate the results to the gravitational situation.
我们假设地球以30公里/秒的速度(在太阳的参照系中)在空旷的空间中运动。与这种运动相联系的是动能和内能的对流流动。由于地球内部有很高的压力,由于地球在运动,又有另一种“水力”能量流。这篇文章讨论的就是后者。虽然这种能量流是巨大的,但在教科书中并没有提到。原因是为了解释,我们需要一个在经典引力的传统表述中没有引入的概念:引力磁场。相应的理论,重力电磁学,是由Heaviside在1893年类比麦克斯韦的电磁学理论而提出的。我们讨论这种水力的、非对流的能量流的源和汇是什么问题。为了回答这个问题,我们需要研究引力场内的能量流密度分布。在此过程中,我们将进行一些有趣的观察。磁场内的能量流是将磁场能量从地球一边转移到另一边所需能量的两倍。由于我们的读者可能不熟悉Heaviside的理论,我们首先处理我们问题的电磁模拟,然后将结果转化为引力情况。

Abstract Two thermodynamic processes, an adiabatic gas compression and an isothermal gas compression, taking place in a moving lab are analysed using a four-vector fundamental equation, ${rm d} E^mu = delta W^mu + delta Q^mu$, a relativistic generalization of the first law of thermodynamics ${rm d}E=delta W+ delta Q$. These processes are first described in frame S, with the lab at rest, and then in frame ${bar {rm S}}$, moving with constant velocity relative to S. This formalism shows that Lorentz transformation preserves the principle of relativity in thermodynamics. The physical meaning of the norm of a four-vector is analysed, and Clausius definition of entropy variation is generalised to relativity. The classical description of the process is obtained in a moving lab by taking the low-speed limit in the four-vector fundamental equation. The formalism naturally incorporates the role of the laws of mechanics when analysing processes that are typically considered as purely thermodynamic.
摘要利用热力学第一定律${rm d}E=delta W+ delta Q$的相对论推广,利用四矢量基本方程${rm d} E^mu = delta W^mu + delta Q^mu$,分析了发生在移动实验室中的两个热力学过程,即绝热气体压缩和等温气体压缩。这些过程首先在坐标系S中描述,实验室处于静止状态,然后在坐标系${bar {rm S}}$中描述,以相对于S的恒定速度运动。这种形式表明洛伦兹变换保留了热力学中的相对性原理。分析了四矢量范数的物理意义,并将克劳修斯熵变定义推广到相对论。采用四矢量基本方程中的低速极限,在移动实验室中得到了这一过程的经典描述。在分析通常被认为是纯热力学的过程时,形式主义自然地结合了力学定律的作用。

Abstract In light of a recent direct experimental confirmation of a Lorentz contraction of Coulomb field (an electric field of a point charge in a uniform motion), we revisit some common confusions related to it, to be mindful of in teaching the subject. These include the questions about a radial nature of the field, a role of the retardation effect due to a finite speed of information transfer and some issues related to a depiction of Coulomb field by means of the Lorentz contracted field lines.

Abstract Analytical solutions in physics are always preferred for the sake of mathematical completeness. For this, using the Lambert W function, I derive closed-form analytical expressions for the equilibrium interionic distance in an ionic crystal, the formation energy of a vacancy in a crystal, the zero-temperature energy gap of a clean-limit superconductor and the critical Kosterlitz-Thouless temperature for the phase transition in 2D-XY model. Besides their theoretical interest, some of the present results suggest alternative experimental determinations of the relevant physical quantities. In addition, I similarly derive an explicit analytical formula based on the Lambert W function for a determination of the Boltzmann constant. This formula is proposed here as a theoretical basis for an experimental method to measure this constant. This method is suitable for undergraduate physics students.

Abstract In this work, we demonstrate explicitly the unified nature of electric and magnetic fields, from the principles of special relativity and Lorentz transformations of the electromagnetic field tensor. Using an operational approach we construct the tensor and its corresponding transformation law, based on the principle of relativity. Our work helps to elucidate concepts of advanced courses on electromagnetism for primary-level learners and shows an alternative path to derive the Lenz’s law based on the connection between relativity arguments and a standard electromagnetism experiment.

Teaching ideal gas in a uniform field: Exploring student preferences 在均匀场中教授理想气体:探索学生的偏好

Abstract An ideal classical gas under uniform gravity is a commonly discussed problem in statistical thermodynamics. At an introductory level, the condition of hydrostatic equilibrium gives rise to the barometric formula, which describes the variation of gas pressure with height. At an advanced level, the partition function can be used to find the density and the internal energy of the gas. These methods rely heavily on mathematical concepts, which may pose a difficulty to some students. This article presents teaching the problem via the virial theorem, emphasising the physical picture of the particle distribution. The virial theorem allows the internal energy to be expressed as an integral over the surface of the container. For the pedagogical purpose, visualisation of how the particles distribute themselves at extreme temperatures helps determine the internal energy of the gas. Student feedback is used as a basis for evaluating different approaches to the problem.
均匀重力作用下的理想经典气体是统计热力学中经常讨论的问题。在一个入门的水平上,流体静力平衡的条件产生了气压公式,它描述了气压随高度的变化。在更高级的层次上,配分函数可以用来求出气体的密度和内能。这些方法在很大程度上依赖于数学概念,这可能会给一些学生带来困难。本文从维里定理出发,着重介绍了粒子分布的物理图景。维里定理允许将内能表示为容器表面上的积分。为了教学目的,可视化粒子在极端温度下如何分布有助于确定气体的内能。学生的反馈被用作评估解决问题的不同方法的基础。

Student feedback is used as a basis for evaluating different approaches to the problem.","PeriodicalId":50480,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Physics","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135689231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract In this article, we present a simple, inexpensive, and effective method for measuring the capacitor charge and discharge processes using a light-emitting diode (LED) and the light meter of a smartphone. We propose a simple circuit in which the LED’s brightness is linear on the capacitor’s voltage, allowing us to use the smartphone to monitor the capacitor state accurately. The method is tested experimentally, giving highly satisfactory results. Its exceptional combination of accuracy, minimal requirements, and ease of setup makes it an excellent way to introduce undergraduate students to the concepts of electricity and electronics in any educational setting.
在本文中,我们提出了一种简单、廉价、有效的方法,利用发光二极管(LED)和智能手机的测光表来测量电容器的充放电过程。我们提出了一个简单的电路,其中LED的亮度与电容器的电压成线性关系,使我们能够使用智能手机准确地监测电容器的状态。该方法经实验验证,结果令人非常满意。它的准确性,最低要求和易于设置的特殊组合使其成为在任何教育环境中向本科生介绍电气和电子概念的绝佳方式。
