  • FROM SINGLE PARTICLES TO MANY-BODY SYSTEMS:THE PRACTICE OF EXACT DIAGONALIZATION IN COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS TEACHING

    WU Hanqing;YAO Daoxin;School of Physics, Sun Yat-sen University;

    Exact diagonalization serves as the most intuitive numerical approach for solving quantum problems and is widely applied in both few-body and many-body systems, making it a core component of computational physics curricula. Guided by a scaffolded teaching philosophy that progresses from fundamental to advanced concepts, this paper systematically outlines the instruction of exact diagonalization in undergraduate computational physics courses—beginning with single-particle systems and gradually advancing to quantum many-body systems. Through a series of carefully designed pedagogical examples, students not only master key procedural steps such as basis selection, symmetry utilization, matrix construction, and diagonalization, but also develop a deeper comprehension of the method's strengths and limitations. This instructional framework effectively bridges the formalism of quantum mechanics with cutting-edge many-body numerical techniques, laying a solid groundwork for students' future exploration of advanced many-body computational methods such as the density matrix renormalization group and tensor networks.

  • THEORY OF THE TRANSFORMATION OF GENERAL LASER BEAM PARAMETERS

    CHEN Peifeng;QIAN Zhuanglin;LYU Xuan;School of Optics and Electronic Information, Huazhong University of Science and Technology;

    The transformation of a Gaussian beam by a thin lens is an important component of the laser principles course, as it enhances students' understanding of laser optical system design. However, because the course usually omits the general propagation of arbitrary laser beams through linear optical systems, students often raise questions when they try to extend their knowledge. This paper derives, under the second-order moment definition, the waist diameter, waist position, and far-field divergence angle of a general laser beam after passing through a linear optical system represented by a ray-transfer matrix. In addition, we retrace the beam-parameter transformation with the q-parameter method, demonstrating the consistency of the two approaches and thereby reinforcing students' understanding of laser-beam behavior. The general beam-parameter transformation theory can be expected to find direct application in the design of multi-lens beam-transformation systems.

    ZHANG Shangjian;FU Ergu;ZHENG Haowen;WU Yinfeng;XU Ying;ZHU Junfeng;ZHANG Yali;GU Chen;School of Optoelectronic Science and Engineering,University of Electronic Science and Technology of China;Department of Physics,Tsinghua University;

    The course of physical optics is committed to promoting a learning-centered teaching model through the transformation of teaching subjects. This paper designs and implements a basic linear polarization optical scene renderer based on path tracing and ray tracing algorithms, which carries out high-precision simulation of the propagation and interaction of polarized light in the scene and generates dynamic visual effects of the polarized light field. The study verifies the simulation accuracy of the renderer for the Fresnel reflection of polarized light at different angles of incidence by means of “virtual-real combination” of experiments and rendering, effectively improving students' understanding and application ability of polarization optics theory. This research provides new tools with quantitative verification functions and visual support for the teaching experiments of Physical Optics and Optical Principles courses, which is helpful to promote the digital transformation of optical teaching.

    YUE Ying;ZHAO Xia;ZHAO Wei;WEI Xiantao;WANG Zhongping;ZHANG Zengming;National Physical Experiment Teaching Demonstration Center,University of Science and Technology of China;

    Elasticity is an important interface between physics and engineering, encompassing a wealth of mathematical tools and physical concepts, which is of great significance for students to solidify their theoretical foundation and enhance their practical abilities. This paper focuses on the bending problem of beams and elaborates on the construction of Timoshenko beam theory from the perspective of the basic equations of elasticity. The deflection equation is solved by combining the Green's function method and the Laplace transform. A cantilever beam teaching model constructed with dry spaghetti and a 3D-printed support is used. By calculating the deflection curve and simulating the strain field, and comparing the results with experimental measurements, the effectiveness of the theoretical model and numerical methods is verified. This study integrates theoretical models, numerical calculations, simulation modeling, and experimental measurements deeply, and can provide an inspiring teaching case for experimental teaching in physics and engineering courses in colleges and universities.

  • CLARIFICATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE TIME TERM OF PLUS OR MINUS SIGN FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE FUNCTION IN THE TEXTBOOK OF PHYSICAL OPTICS

    YUAN Maohui;HUANG Qianyu;ZHANG Xuanhao;JIANG Man;HAN Kai;College of Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies, National University of Defense Technology;

    In textbooks on electromagnetic waves or optics, the time term of the electromagnetic field wave function is usually represented with a negative sign. However, in the “College Physics” textbook, the wavefunction of the wave for the time term is typically represented with a positive sign when deriving the wave equation from the vibration equation. During my teaching, students often raise such questions, so it is necessary to discuss the concept and physical significance of the positive and negative signs of the time term to better help students understand the physical significance. This paper starts from the definition of vibration, provides related concepts of wave motion, and discusses in detail the physical connotation of the positive and negative signs of the time term in the wave function of electromagnetic field. In addition, it further analyzes the practical considerations of expressing the time term of the wave function as a negative sign when dealing with electromagnetic wave or optical problems, clarifying and explaining the doubts about the wave function of electromagnetic waves usually being represented with a negative sign.

Based on revealing the physical mechanism of antenna thermal noise, the paper elaborates on the logical construction and physical connotations of the concept of antenna noise temperature. Teaching practice has shown that integrating the above ideas into teaching deepens students' understanding of the relevant physical knowledge. This study aims to deepen students' understanding of the blackbody radiation theory in college physics courses and provide a reference for the teaching of radio communication professional courses. By extending the basic physical theory to the field of radio communication, it demonstrates the bridging role of basic physics courses in the curriculum system, which is conducive to cultivating students' interdisciplinary comprehensive literacy and innovative thinking abilities.

  • SAMPLING METHODS AND PLOTTING OF MAGNETIC FIELD LINES——TAKING THE VISUALIZATION OF MAGNETIC FIELD LINES IN A CIRCULAR CURRENT AS AN EXAMPLE

    SONG Litao;HE Jie;WANG Jiefang;School of Physics and Laboratory of Zhongyuan Light,Zhengzhou University;School of Physics,Henan University of Technology;

    Magnetic field lines play a significant role in the analysis of many magnetic field-related problems. Previous literature on visualization methods of magnetic field lines has predominantly focused on “ensuring that the tangential direction at each point along a field line aligns with the direction of the local magnetic induction intensity vector”, while neglecting the physical requirement of “using line density to reflect magnetic field strength”. Based on Python programming language, taking the visualization method of magnetic field lines of the magnetic field of a circular current as an example, the sampling method and implementation process of making the drawn magnetic field lines meet the physical requirement of “the density of the lines reflects the strength of the magnetic field” are introduced in detail. This method features simple principles and strong general applicability.

  • THE INNOVATION AND PRACTICE IN TEACHING THE MOMENT OF INERTIA TENSOR

    ZHENG Hua;ZHANG Wenchao;WANG Xingang;ZHU Lilin;LIU Xingquan;School of Physics & Information Technology, Shaanxi Normal University;College of Physics, Sichuan University;Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology, Sichuan University;

    Tensors are a very important concept in theoretical physics. The inertia tensor is the first concept of tensors that students encounter in undergraduate courses. This paper attempts to innovate the teaching content of the inertia tensor by reorganizing the teaching content of the inertia tensor of rigid bodies. It starts with calculating the angular momentum of a rigid body rotating about a fixed point, then introduces the matrix form, and finally introduces the concept of the inertia tensor, dyadic notation, and their calculation rules. This approach helps students understand that the introduction of tensors is natural and is just a mathematical form of problem description, but it brings convenience. Using this as a starting point, it lays a solid foundation for students' subsequent learning of theories involving tensors and also cultivates their innovative thinking.

  • ON INGENIOUS APPLICATIONS OF THE COEFFICIENT OF RESTITUTION AND DISCUSSION ON THE RATIONALITY OF PROPOSITIONS

    XIAO Xinyu;LIU Xiequan;NI Xinhua;LI Mu;School of Civil Engineering, Guangzhou City University of Technology;School of Electronic & Information Engineering and Communication Engineering, Guangzhou City University of Technology;School of Mechanical Engineering & Robot Engineering, Guangzhou City University of Technology;

    Using the coefficient of restitution to solve collision problems has more advantages than the conventional method of using the law of conservation of energy: the results of linear equations are unique, the calculations are more convenient, and the scope of application is broader, compensating for the limitation of the law of conservation of energy, which can only solve problems of perfectly elastic collisions. It can solve various collision problems, including direct and oblique collisions between particles and particles, particles and rigid bodies, and rigid bodies and rigid bodies. Moreover, the coefficient of restitution can also be used to quickly judge the rationality of collision problems and correct unreasonable propositions.It is hoped that the use of the coefficient of restitution will deepen students' understanding of the collision process and also serve as a reference for teachers in creating reasonable problem propositions.

  • DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF GYROSCOPE PRECESSION AND NUTATION BASED ON THE ANGULAR MOMENTUM THEOREM IN SPHERICAL COORDINATES

    SHI Yurong;WANG Guangxing;ZHONG Yiyang;GU Yongjian;College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering,Ocean university of China;Department of Quantum Science and Technology,The Australian National University;

    The counterintuitive phenomenon of precession and nutation of gyroscopes in the gravitational field is surprising, but qualitative explanations using Cartesian coordinate systems can only explain precession but not nutation, and cannot provide satisfactory answers for students in the general physics and mechanics stage. This paper derives the form of the angular momentum theorem in spherical coordinates and applies it to the dynamic analysis of the precession and nutation of gyroscopes. With the help of numerical simulation methods, several relationship diagrams of the gyroscope's motion quantities are given, providing students with clear dynamic images and allowing ordinary physics students to understand the complex motion of gyroscopes. This analysis method is simpler, more intuitive, and easier to understand than the Lagrangian mechanics method of theoretical mechanics.

  • EXPLORATION AND PRACTICE OF ANALOGICAL TRANSFER TEACHING STRATEGY IN COLLEGE PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS

    WANG Xiaomeng;LI Jing;WANG Long;WANG Shiyan;College of Science, China University of Petroleum (Huadogn);

    In order to solve the problems of insufficient knowledge transfer ability, lack of interdisciplinary knowledge application ability, unsystematic scientific thinking, and weak innovation consciousness in college physics experiment teaching, combined with recent teaching practices and the characteristics of college physics experiment courses, this paper proposes a teaching strategy of horizontal analogy and vertical transfer deepening. Drawing on recent pedagogical practice and the unique characteristics of the physics-laboratory curriculum, the strategy consists of five components: analogies between different experiments that share identical or similar knowledge points; analogies between experiments that embody the same or comparable physical ideas; horizontal comparisons among experiments that measure the same physical quantity with different methods; vertically tiered experimental content; and vertically extended interdisciplinary experiments. Implementing this analogy-transfer approach helps students actively construct knowledge frameworks, strengthens their ability to integrate and apply what they learn, and fosters critical and innovative thinking.

    In the context of AI empowering education, the Physics Teaching and Research Office of Tongji University is also considering how to integrate AI into physics teaching. To this end, we conducted a school wide survey on the application of AI in students' physics learning in the first half of the year, and received a total of 2034 valid questionnaires. Based on the results of this survey, we have carried out targeted measures to integrate AI, such as establishing an AI Q&A intelligent agent, collaborating with the student union to strengthen the construction of Q&A video library on Bilibili, building a knowledge graph, digital lecture notes and question bank on a digital platform, and establishing a learning situation warning system based on Canvas system. Of course, the above measures are only using AI to optimize our teaching and evaluation methods, but we believe that it is more important to find physics knowledge points and application scenarios that can integrate AI. Therefore, we have given an example as inspiration.

    JIA Ruizhe;YAN Haoyu;YU Xinrong;XU Zheng;WANG Zhenyu;LI Tong;LIU Wei;School of Optics and Photonics,Beijing Institute of Technology;School of Physics,Beijing Institute of Technology;

    To address the limitations of insufficient three-dimensional optical path visualization and restricted operational freedom in traditional optical virtual simulation experiments, this study proposes a mixed reality-based solution. By integrating the Unity Engine, Matlab simulation algorithms, and the Holo Lens2 mixed reality hardware platform, we have constructed a virtual-physical fusion experimental environment that achieves high-degree freedom optical simulations with real-time multimodal interaction. During system development, strict adherence to geometric optics and wave optics theories ensures authentic simulation of optical phenomena and immersive experimental processes, implemented through Unity engine's particle system and collision detection modules. Additionally, an intelligent experimental data analysis module, incorporating an error tracing functionality, has been introduced to help students identify the sources of experimental error and optimize experimental procedures. The implementation of the Michelson interferometer case demonstrates that the mixed reality-based optical virtual simulation system breaks through the one-way operation limitations of traditional simulations. By expanding operational freedom and implementing multi-sensory(visual, auditory, and tactile) interactive design, it significantly enhances students' understanding of optical phenomena and their exploratory capabilities. This approach shows considerable potential for broader application in physics education.

    Based on Python libraries such as Matplotlib, Numpy, and Py Qt5, this paper designs and develops a simulation platform for the Young's double-slit interference and doubleslit diffraction experiments. The simulation platform can dynamically display the optical paths, spectra, and intensity variations corresponding to double-slit interference and diffraction in real time by adjusting experimental parameters such as wavelength, slit width, slit separation, screen distance, and medium refractive index. Additionally, the double-slit interference project discusses the color spectrum formed by trichromatic light as the light source, while the double-slit diffraction project features a discussion on the missing-order phenomenon. The platform also embeds animations of the double-slit interference optical path principle made with Geo Gebra and a 3D animation of the double-slit diffraction experiment made with Solid Works, vividly illustrating the mechanisms of double-slit interference and the experimental process of double-slit diffraction. This simulation platform helps students understand abstract optical theories and formulas, analyze the differences and connections between doubleslit interference and diffraction, and serves as an effective auxiliary tool for both theoretical and experimental teaching in wave optics.

    HE Shuang;SUN Yan;GAO Yuan;YU Dan;Aviation Basic Institut, Air Force Aviation University;

    In order to cultivate students' innovative awareness and exercise their ability to apply what they have learned, a Young's modulus measuring device that can realize various optical measurement methods has been designed by combining the basic structure of the existing Young's modulus measuring instrument in physics laboratory teaching with an optical rail. Based on this device, the Young's modulus of a metal wire has been measured using both the Moiré fringe method and the single-slit diffraction method. The experimental phenomena are distinct, and the difficulty of optical path adjustment has been reduced. Analysis of the experimental results shows that compared with the traditional optical lever method, the experimental accuracy has been significantly improved. This proves that the experimental device has good comprehensiveness and expandability. More measurement methods can be developed based on this device in the future to enrich the content of learning and research.

    The propagation of sound waves is a common issue in physics research. “Seeing is believing, but hearing is deceiving.” With the help of modern schlieren display technology, sound waves can be visualized to demonstrate the refraction of sound and verify the laws of refraction. In the experiment, a Fresnel acoustic lens is installed in front of the ultrasonic probe to transform spherical waves into plane waves. A transparent gas box is filled with carbon dioxide to create a refractive interface with the air outside the box. Standing waves are used to enhance the path of sound refraction. The refracted wavefronts after the emission of spherical waves are not “concentric circular surfaces,” which is also analyzed. To demonstrate total reflection of sound waves, a water-saltwater liquid interface is designed. All these help students understand the propagation of sound waves and Huygens' principle.

  • EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN OF SOUND SOURCE LOCALIZATION BASED ON MICRO PHONE ARRAYS AND NEURAL NETWORK

    TANG Zihan;LUO Yunrong;HU Jincheng;YANG Yurui;School of Physics and Electronics, Hunan Normal University;

    This paper presents a sound source localization experimental setup that integrates microphone-array technology with neural networks and the generalized cross-correlation timedelay(GCC-TD) method. The system first preprocesses raw acoustic signals with a Kalman filter, then estimates the time-difference-of-arrival between microphones via GCC-TD, and finally employs a single-hidden-layer neural network to map these time differences onto two-dimensional coordinates, thereby pinpointing the sound source. Replacing conventional mathematical models with a neural network markedly mitigates systematic errors arising from ambient noise, sound-speed variations, and hardware latency, while simultaneously cutting computational complexity and memory requirements. Experimental results demonstrate that the apparatus offers high accuracy, low cost, and real-time display and logging of measurement data.

  • EXPLORATION AND PRACTICE OF ONLINE-MERGE-OFFLINE TEACHING IN COLLEGE PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS OF EMERGING ENGINEERING EDUCATION

    HOU Yanglong;SHEN Han;CHEN Wenduo;QIAN Guoyu;CUI Qing;ZHAO Fuli;School of Materials,Sun Yat-sen University;School of Physics,Sun Yat-sen University;National Demonstration Center for Experimental Physics Education (Sun Yat-sen University);

    Against the backdrop of digital education, the “Emerging Engineering” initiative calls on university physics-lab courses to shift their objectives from traditional knowledge transmission to the cultivation of scientific literacy, hands-on innovation, and engineering thinking. Yet current instruction is typically delivered in the first year with a strong generaleducation focus, lacking the distinctive features demanded by “Emerging Engineering.” Students therefore arrive with insufficient theoretical preparation, low learning efficiency, and weak self-directed learning skills, making it hard to meet the talent-development goals of the initiative. To address this, we have designed and implemented a blended online-offline instructional model for the “Emerging Engineering” university physics laboratory. Leveraging an online platform, the model provides teacher-recorded lectures, experimental-operation videos, interactive virtual simulations, and targeted pre-lab quizzes that guide students to build the necessary knowledge before class. During the face-to-face sessions, emphasis is placed on standard operating procedures, observation of phenomena, data collection, and analytical inquiry, markedly improving practical skills and experimental efficiency. By combining common core experiments with distinctive, discipline-crossing ones, the model broadens students' horizons and strengthens their interdisciplinary competence. Practical results show that the model is highly effective: students' pre-lab preparation, experimental efficiency, and data-analysis abilities all improve significantly. The design and implementation process offer a replicable pathway for deepening the reform of university physics-lab teaching under the “Emerging Engineering” paradigm.

  • SETTING UP COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES TO ADDRESS DIFFICULTIES IN THE TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO UNIVERSITY COURSES: INSIGHTS FROM TWO “SOLUTIONS” TO A SAMPLE PROBLEM ON WAVE FUNCTION EVOLUTION IN TIME-DEPENDENT HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS

    WANG Shuchao;ZHANG An;ZHANG Shaohe;SHI Xiaolan;Beijing National Day School;

    The transition courses between high school and university not only bridge the gap between high school and university physics content, but also need to have a certain depth in some aspects. Some knowledge points are already difficult for college students, and for middle school students with weaker mathematical and physical foundations and less knowledge reserve, the difficulty is even greater. At this time, teachers need to design examples skillfully and help students overcome difficulties through appropriate guidance, explanation, comparison, and induction. This paper takes the evolution of wave functions in time-dependent Hamiltonian systems as an example. By skillfully designing examples and comparing incorrect and correct solutions, students can deeply understand the necessity of introducing the time-ordering operator and naturally introduce the time-ordering operator. Finally, a summary of the time-evolution operator is provided.

  • PRACTICE OF HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS CURRICULUM GROUP GUIDED BY IYPT: RESEARCH ON THE THROUGH-TYPE CULTIVATION OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH LITERACY BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES AND HIGH SCHOOLS

    BAO Chengzhang;TU Xubin;ZHENG Qi;Xiaoshan Middle School in Zhejiang Province;Hangzhou Basic Education Research Office;

    The education in the new era calls for the cultivation of innovative talents. The integration of physics education between high school and university, as an important link to deepen the cultivation of innovative physics talents, should not only focus on the deepening of knowledge but also on the improvement of comprehensive quality. Based on the characteristics of the International Young Physicists' Tournament, a research-oriented competition, and taking “cognition-inquiry-practice-innovation” as the main thread, an integrated multidisciplinary curriculum is developed to create a series of physics courses that combine theory and practice for the high school-university connection. This aims to achieve better integration in terms of quality and cultivate innovative talents.

  • THE EFFECT OF WALL REBOUNDS ON THE EXIT DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION IN GALTON BOARD MODELS

    XU Bao;WU Hongye;YU Yue;Department of Physics Science and Technology, Baotou Teachers College;

    In an ideal Galton board model, the exit distribution function represents the solution to a one-dimensional diffusion equation, providing a means to verify the correctness of the derived distribution. However, when wall rebounds are incorporated, the exit distribution function obtained through the maximum entropy principle fails to satisfy this diffusion equation. To rigorously incorporate wall rebound effects, we employ a periodic folding scheme that yields an exit distribution function satisfying the one-dimensional diffusion equation. We demonstrate that the maximum entropy-based exit distribution function serves as a unimodal approximation of the periodic folding scheme. Numerical experiments using Monte Carlo method reveal that for exit distribution functions incorporating wall rebounds, a three-peak approximation derived from the periodic folding scheme exhibits superior expressive capability compared to the unimodal approximation. Furthermore, as the number of peg layers increases, the exit distribution function undergoes a gradual transition from a normal distribution toward a uniform distribution. Using the unimodal distribution as a representative case, we present a methodology for identifying this transition point.

  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF GAMMA-RAY SPECTRA USING NATURAL RADIOACTIVITY

    SONG Guofeng;XIE Ning;CAI Jun;WANG Zhongping;ZHANG Zengming;School of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China;

    This paper proposes an experimental teaching scheme of gamma energy spectrum based on natural radionuclides to replace traditional artificial radioactive sources(such as ~(137)Cs, ~(60)Co). The experiment utilized ~(176)Lu in lutetium oxide and ~(40)K in potassium chloride as natural gamma-ray sources. Analysis indicated that the radioactive activity of the materials used in the experiment was far below the upper limit for exempted radioactive source activities stipulated by national standards, and there was no radiation safety risk. Energy spectra were collected using a NaI(Tl) scintillation spectrometer. The energy spectrum characteristics of ~(176)Lu(88 keV, 202 keV, 307 keV) and ~(40)K(1461 keV) were analyzed, and multi-peak energy calibration was completed(linear correlation coefficient>0.999). The experiment further measured and analyzed the environmental radioactive background energy spectrum and the absorption characteristics of copper sheets for gamma rays. The linear attenuation coefficient was measured accurately(relative standard uncertainty<5%). The research results show that natural radioactive materials can effectively support the teaching of gamma energy spectrum experiments, expand the content of traditional gamma energy spectrum experiments, lower the threshold for setting up experiments for colleges and institutions without radioactive source qualifications, and provide safe and economical experimental solutions.

  • NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF PHASE TANSITIONS IN ISING MODEL AND BINARY SOLUTION MODEL

    LI Mengyuan;LI Yanwei;School of Physics, Beijing Institute of Technology;

    The introduction and study of physics often begin with the observation of changes between the three states of matter, which encompass phase transitions, a common phenomenon in nature. Phase transitions also serve as a key topic in thermodynamics-related courses. To provide a concrete representation of phase transitions and support the comparison of theoretical results, this paper designs and conducts Monte Carlo simulations of the phase transition processes in both the Ising model and a binary water-oil solution model. The system's evolution during the phase transition is visualized, while the temperature dependence of relevant physical quantities such as energy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility is tracked. The phase transition points of the system are determined, and phase diagrams are constructed. Additionally, the effects of system size on the phase transition process and the corresponding physical quantities are discussed. This paper offers a numerical experimental method that allows undergraduate and graduate students to intuitively understand phase transitions, aiming to stimulate their enthusiasm for learning, understanding, and further exploring the physics of phase transitions.

    The microchannel plate(MCP) is a two-dimensional continuous electron multiplier vacuum device that exhibits certain quantum detection efficiency for most charged particles, some high-energy particles, and short-wavelength light. As a result, it is widely used in fields such as low-light-level night-vision, aerospace detection, nuclear detection, and large-scale scientific instruments. Microchannel plate is the key core component of domestic high-end scientific instruments, as well as the key basic materials of national major projects, strategic emerging industries and national defense construction, and its material and manufacturing optimization and high performance are international research and development hotspots. The gain is an important performance characteristic for microchannel plates. The increasing in gain can improves the signal-to-noise ratio or detection efficiency. Traditional microchannel plates exhibit a gain of 2000~4000 at a test voltage of 800V, whereas the ion-beam-etched funnel microchannel plate presented in this study achieves a gain of 6020 under the same conditions. So, the research in this paper provide new opportunities to improve the quality of China's high-end instruments and get rid of the status stuck neck of key components being subject to people for a long time.

  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BROADBAND NOISE SUPPRESSION CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPOSITE OSCILLATOR ARRAY PHONONIC CRYSTALS

    ZHU Hongwei;LIN Hengze;CAO Haijiang;ZHANG Xinchao;SHI Qingfan;School of Physics Science and Technology,Baotou Teachers' College;School of Science,Institute of Disaster Prevention;

    In this work, an experimental platform for periodic phononic crystals is utilized to systematically investigate the effects of different parameters on the bandgap characteristics of phononic crystals. This is achieved by testing three types of oscillators: wooden pillars, wooden column-expanded polyethylene(EPE) composites, and EPE hollow cylinders, in combination with two types of periodic arrangements: square and triangular lattices. The experimental results show that the square lattice arrangement of the wooden pillar array significantly broadens the bandgap compared to the triangular lattice arrangement(BG1 bandwidth of 1.2k Hz~0.7k Hz; BG2 bandwidth of 1.6k Hz~0.9k Hz). The wooden pillar-EPE composite oscillator extends the high-frequency bandgap to 8k Hz(BG2 bandwidth of 4.7k Hz) by coupling Bragg scattering and local resonance, while simultaneously improving low-frequency sound absorption efficiency by 20%. This experiment demonstrates broadband noise suppression from 1.3k Hz to 8.0k Hz in centimeter-scale periodic structures, providing crucial parameter references for the design of phononic crystal noise reduction in transportation and industrial scenarios, such as 1k Hz~2k Hz mechanical noise and 2k Hz~6k Hz transformer noise. In addition, the experimental design of this paper can also be incorporated into university physics laboratory teaching as a research-based experiment, helping students to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of band gaps and the importance of physics in engineering applications.

  • A METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING OPTICAL FIBER SECONDARY CIRCUITS IN INTELLIGENT SUBSTATION BASED ON CLOUD COMPUTING

    CAO Haiou;GE Yaming;State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Company, LTD.;

    Optical fiber networks are relatively complex, with issues such as time-consuming secondary loop identification and high CPU usage rates. A cloud computing based intelligent substation optical fiber secondary circuit identification method is proposed. A connectivity constraint function for generating topological structure rules is established to construct the substation optical fiber topology. Based on the topology structure, a directed graph of the substation optical fiber is drawn, and cloud computing technology is applied to perform distributed partitioning of the optical fiber topology. Following the concept of distributed storage, corresponding information for secondary loops in each area is obtained to generate labels for optical fibers in intelligent substations. A large-scale graph depth-first traversal algorithm is used to optimize the traversal process in the identification method, completing the identification process of the optical fiber secondary loops. An experimental phase is constructed, and the results show that this method has a high identification accuracy and can further reduce the time and CPU usage for secondary loop identification. It provides a new direction for the management of optical fiber networks in intelligent substations.
