    Graphene is a cutting-edge research topic in condensed matter physics. This paper introduces the analytical solution of the pseudo-Landau energy level of graphene under a pseudo-magnetic field generated by the non-uniform uniaxial strain. We show in detail the derivation of the low-energy effective Hamiltonian under strain and the solution of related differential equations. The solution of the pseudo-Landau energy level, comprehensively using the basic knowledge of mathematics and physics learned by college students, is of great reference value for related  theoretical courses

    First, using the relations of the unit vectors between orthogonal curvilinear coordinates and Cartesian coordinates, and the invariability of the unit vectors in Cartesian coordinates, the gradient operator in both coordinates, and the partial derivative of the unit vectors to the coordinates are derived from the perspective of the transformation of the unit vectors. Then, using the fundamentals of the theorems of tensor field, the gradient of displacement vector and the divergence of stress tensor are derived by derivation. Last, the geometric equations of strain and the differential equations of equilibrium are derived in details in cylindrical coordinates and spherical coordinates from their forms expressed by tensor.

    Rolling friction is very common in our real life, but most students lack a correct understanding of the cause of rolling friction. In this paper, the cause of rolling friction is analyzed in two cases: a rigid body on a horizontal soft underlay and a soft body on a horizontal rigid underlay. It is found that rolling friction is a kind of effect caused by the asymmetric distribution of the force applied to the rolling body that hinders rolling when one object is rolling on another object or has a rolling tendency. The concepts of rolling friction and the force of rolling friction are also explained.

By which, the differential relation between the rotation angle of the rigid body and angular coordinates of the bug in the rotating coordinate system is derived. Moreover, the formula of the rotation angle is obtained as the trajectory of the bug on the rigid body is straight, and the application of the formula is presented by given typical example.

    The teaching method of obtaining Boltzmann constant by measuring the thermal noise of a resistor with a lock-in amplifier is easy for students to understand in physics, and its smooth implementation requires technical support of high precision measurement and students’ clear understandings of the measurement principle and the meanings of instrument parameters of the lock-in amplifier. To meet the peculiarity and the requirements of physics specialty, especially that of precision measurement physics, it is tried to avoid as much as possible involving in knowledge of electronics, but focus on mathematical description of noise measurement with a lock-in amplifier, including the derivations of thermal noise of a resistor, the noise processing process of a lock-in amplifier, and the equivalent noise bandwidth. The experimental design of Boltzmann constant measurement is optimized based on error analysis. Finally, the preliminary teaching practice is briefly introduced.

    With the development of nuclear physics experiment technology, the acquisition system using traditional analog electronics has been gradually replaced by the digital acquisition system. Many sets of Pixie-Net digitizers have been introduced into the teaching laboratory of nuclear physics and nuclear technology at Peking University. We tried to use them in teaching experiments instead of the traditional acquisition system. Taking the NaI(Tl) detector as an example, the advantages of pixie-net digitizer (compared with traditional electronics) and the principle of its energy measurement are reported. The influence of various parameters in setting file on the energy resolution of NaI(Tl) detector is tested carefully. The energy resolution of NaI(Tl) detector when using Pixie-Net digitizer with the best parameters is better than that using the traditional electronics.

    The varied-density in the interior of a celestial body, generally results in an anisotropic gravity potential outside of the celestial. The general numerical integration method needs too much time in the potential determination to be efficiently applied in a large-scaled gravity inversion as well as the forward case. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes an updated model of spherical harmonic expansion, which is based on the generalized Fourier Transformation. Results indicate that the spherical harmonic expanded coefficients of the gravity potential can be directly estimated according to the expanded coefficients of density. Our method simplifies the potential calculation in the case of density varied in a celestial body. By applying our algorithm to the actual case, the potential from our approach shows a similar distribution with the general method, but our method spents less time in the computation than its counterpart. To the issue of lunar crustal density varied, the estimated gravity potential from our method shows the same behavior with the varied-density. Our method is validated and can be applied in the gravity inversion as well as its forward problem.

    The first half of the course of methods of mathematical physics, complex functions, is mainly mathematical background technically needed for the second half. Students tend to take it as abstract and irrelevant with physics. Using Fourier series as a demo, it is shown how they directly treat problems in everyday life and physics. Presenting it in physical scenarios, i.e., substantializing the physics related, helps students essentially understand it. More importantly, this will directly connect the Fourier transform with major physics, and give students command of mathematics via physical pictures, which favors flexible applications of them in subsequential courses.

    Damped oscillating system is an extremely important topic in the study of molecular dynamics and classical dynamics, so the analytical result is the key problem on this system. But the exact expressions are always to obtain in many-body system. Motivated to get the two-bodys analytic expressions, Laplace transform, residual theory and Cardano formula are applied to the calculation. Accurate computations show that this system could be distinguished into three situations: critical damping oscillation, overdamped oscillation and underdamped oscillation, which is quite analogous to simple damped harmonic oscillator. Similarly, the three modes are also classified via the discriminant Δ. Finally, this study sheds some light into the topics on more complicated systems.

    In this paper, COMSOL Multiphysics simulation is applied to acoustic resonant tube experiment. First the sound pressure distribution in the vicinity of tube end is calculated and the departure from the picture given by one-dimensional wave appxoimation is visulized. Then, the shift of resonant frequency is investigated due to the existence of sound detector (microphone). The result shows that the shift, which may be positive as well as negative,depends on the size and position of sound detactor. Finally, the resonant frequency of a tube with partly closed end is calculated and find that the numerical results agree with the mearsured values quite well. The stduy shows that numerical simulations can be applied to undergraduate physics laboratory to help students achieving a better understanding of experiments and endow them with a powerful tool to tackle practical problems.

    It is an interesting problem to investigate the electrostatic field between two intersecting planes with given opening angle and charge distribution. For simplicity, we focus on the case that the source is a point charge. First, the potential distribution of some special opening angles is analyzed by using the method of image. Furthermore, the general case is solved by applying the separation of variables. The equivalence of the two results is verified by mathematical derivations. Finally, the discussion is generalized to Neumann and mixed boundary conditions, where the general solutions of electric potential and a series of identities for the second kind of Legendre function are obtained.

    The traditional light speed measurement in college physics experiment course suffers from multiple uncertainties for comparing the light-beat signals in two different pathways. In this paper, an optimized method is developed by utilizing the cursor function of oscilloscope to measure the phase variation of only one light-beat signal, which achieves much better accuracy in a more operative way and can be easily applied to teaching practice of this experiment. It is found that the instructional design which incorporates this improved method will become more pedagogical to illustrate the essence of this measurement and help students develop critical thinking and spirits of exploration in scientific research.
