    Periodic potential and Bloch,s theorem in solid makes Berry curvature different from that in continuousmedia. The Bloch wave function of the n-th energy band at k point in Brillouin zone has its modulation factor unk(r), and the corresponding Berry curvature is given by Ωnk=×Ank with Berry connection Ank=〈unk|ik|unk〉. In the presence of inversion and time reversal symmetries, Berry curvature vanishes at in any k point of Brillouin zone. With broken inversion and time reversal symmetries, or with spin-orbit coupling, or the band degeneracy, Berry curvature can be nonzero. Berry curvature induces an anomalous velocity perpendicular to external electric field, which in turn leads to the intrinsic anomalous Hall effect, the intrinsic spin Hall effect and the nonlinear Hall effect. This work is helpful for a better understanding of Bloch wave function and Boltzmann transport equation.

    Starting from the classical Lissajous figures formed by the simple harmonic vibrations in the transverse and longitudinal directions under the classical Cartesian coordinate system, we study the Lissajous figures formed by the vibrations in the radial and angular directions under the polar coordinates. The features of the Lissajous figures are analyzed when the equilibrium point is located at the origin of polar coordinates and the equilibrium point moves in a circular motion. These results are further extended to the periodic orbits formed by the bound motion of particles in the background of black holes. This further enriches and expands our knowledge and understanding of the Lissajous figures.

     Fermi,s golden rule is a theory describing the probability of wave function of a system changing from one characteristic state to another, which can well elaborate the absorption and emission of solid luminescent materials. However, the derivation process of Fermi,s golden rule is relatively complex, and students do not understand the results of the derivation, which affects the follow-up teaching progress and the overall teaching quality. In this work, the derivation of the Fermi,s golden rule formula is reviewed. Based on this rule, an energy transfer rate between electric dipoles of a donor-acceptor system is derived, which demonstrates that the energy transfer between the electric dipoles is inversely proportional to both the square of dielectric constant and the sixth power of coupling distance. This result provides a theoretical basis for regulating the energy transfer rate between electric dipoles. In addition, an ion dipole-atom dipole energy transfer model is established according to the Fermi,s golden rule formula and their energy transfer rate is derived. The proposed theory clarifies the energy dissipation mechanism of excited states of emitting centers, and provides effective measures to enhance the emission efficiency. This application example enables students to better understand the physical meaning of the Fermi,s golden rule.

     Several issues related to the study of magic springs are explored and clarified. A model of pre retracting force spring is established and its deformation law is derived. According to the motion theorem of the center of mass, the time for the spring to shrink to the original length, the equations of motion of its upper end and the speed formula are derived when the spring falls freely, and the applicable conditions of the contraction time formula in some current literatures are given. Research has shown that for the magic spring commonly used in demonstrations, during the contraction phase of free fall, its upper end does not move uniformly in a straight line

    The accelerative motion of electrons around the nucleus radiates electromagnetic waves that make atoms unstable. In this paper, the differential equation of the radius of electron motion is established on the assumption that an electron moves in a uniform circle around the nucleus for a short time. The trajectory equation of electron in polar coordinate system and the time expression of electron falling to the nucleus are obtained. It is concluded that an electron moves in a spiral around atomic nucleus and falls to the nucleus in about 10-10 s.

    The equation for the momentum and the wavelength for the matter wave is derived in two intuitive ways. The first way is to use the Lorentz transformation to obtain the inherent time difference between the head and tail of the moving particles, and then obtain the corresponding wavelength for the material wave through its phase difference and the length of the particle occupied in space. The second way is to obtain the equation by calculating the traveling wave adapted to the phase change of the particle. These two derivation methods are intuitive and helpful to beginners to understand the physical image of the matter wave.

    The following three problems on solar cells are studied in this paper: It is well known that the key element of a solar cell is a PN junction. However, the so called current-voltage characteristics curve (I-U curve) of a solar cell looks very differently with that of a normal PN junction, why? How does the I-U curve of a solar cell change exactly? How do the output current, output voltage, and output power of a solar cell change with the load resistance? The study on these problems has important significance in design and application of solar cells. The research results are as follows: The reason of first problem that the so called I-U curve of a solar cell is, in fact, the I-U curve of the load resistance in a solar cell circuit, not the I-U curve of the PN junction in the solar cell. The answerHYPERLINK"javascript:;" to the second problem is that the current monotonously decreases with increasing the voltage. The answerHYPERLINK"javascript:;" to the third problem is that for a solar cell circuit, with the increase of the load resistance, the output current monotonously decreases, and the output voltage monotonously increases, while the output power does not change monotonousl. There exists a maximum output power which correspods to an optimal load resistance.

    Hamiltonian theory is an important teaching content of theoretical mechanics and celestial mechanics. Canonical coordinates and canonical coordinate transformations are key concepts in Hamiltonian theory and important technical means for solving dynamic equations. The N body problem describes the behavior of N objects or celestial bodies moving under the gravitational interaction. The N body problem is one of the key and difficult points in the teaching of theoretical mechanics and celestial mechanics. In addition to ten classical conserved quantities, Jacobi coordinates are another important means and method for the N body problem. Ordinary textbooks only talk about the physical meaning of Jacobi coordinates. In this paper, the specific transformation relationship between Jacobi coordinates and inertial coordinates is given, and then the conjugate momentum corresponding to Jacobi coordinates is given by using the method of canonical coordinate transformation. This result not only complements the knowledge of Jacobi coordinates about canonical coordinates, but also gives a good practical example of canonical coordinate transformation. In this paper, the trick of canonical coordinate transformation are pointed out through two different methods of calculating conjugate momentum of Jacobi coordinates. These contents can be a useful supplement to the classroom teaching of theoretical mechanics and celestial mechanics.

    In this paper, the motion of viscious liquid outside a rotation cylindrical rod is studied. By conducting controlling variable experiments, Moffat,s theoretical formula is verified to some extent. It is proposed that the inertial effect at a relatively high Reynold number (>10) causes the difference between theoretical and experimental results. The periodic changes in cross-sectional shape of liquid film with respect to angular velocity is furthur studied, and images of the shape of liquid film at different angular velocities are obtained. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of forming liquid rings along the axial direction of cylindrical rod is quanlitatively studied, and the relationship between the number of rings and several factors is given.

    Considering the lack of discussion of the crystalline energy band structure in real space in the commonly used solid-state physics textbooks, we take the one-dimensional periodic potential as an example to introduce how to obtain the energy band under any atomic-chain potential in the seminar teaching. Design of visualized experiments will help students to build a physical picture for band formation in solid-state systems. It is of great reference value for related condensed matter theory courses.

    With the development of nuclear physics technology, traditional electronic modules are no longer able to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of nuclear physics experiments. Digital instruments have been widely used due to advantages of high integration and flexible data processing. We attempt to use the Pixie-Net digitizer for the γ-γ coincidence experiment using the NaI and CeBr3 detectors in order to simplify experimental equipment and to improve teaching effectiveness. The results show that after optimizing the parameters of the digitizer based on the pulse shapes and correcting the difference in angular correlation coefficient caused by the size of the detector and radiation source, the activity error of the radioactive source between the test value and the theoretical value is less than that from the β-γ coincidence method based on traditional electronics.
