Temperature-dependent transport measurements with Arduino
A. Hilberer, G. Laurent, A. Lorin +9
The current performances of single-board microcontrollers render them attractive not only for basic applications but also for more elaborate projects, amongst which physics teachin…
A study on kinetic friction: the Timoshenko oscillator
Robin Henaff, Gabriel Le Doudic, Bertrand Pilette +6
Friction is a complex phenomenon that is of paramount importance in everyday life. We present an easy-to-build and inexpensive experiment illustrating Coulomb's law of kinetic fric…
Learning through experimenting: an original way of teaching geometrical optics
C. Even, C. Balland, V. Guillet
Over the past 10 years, we have developed at University Paris Sud a first year course on geometrical optics centered on experimentation. In contrast with the traditional top-down l…
Single file diffusion of macroscopic charged particles
Christophe Coste, Jean-Baptiste Delfau, Catherine Even +1
In this paper, we study a macroscopic system of electrically interacting metallic beads organized as a sequence along an annulus. A random mechanical shaking mimics the thermal exc…
Macroscopic 2D Wigner islands
M. Saint Jean, C. Even, C. Guthmann
In this paper we present new versatile "2D macroscopic Wigner islands" useful to investigate the various behaviors observed in mesoscopic confined systems. Our "Wigner islands" con…
