Probability distribution function of crossover frequency of operational amplifiers

For the first time the cumulative distribution function of the crossover frequency of a contemporary operational amplifier ADA4898-2 is experimentally studied. Using a USB Lock-In amplifier, which allows automatic frequency sweep of the current response of a non-inverting amplifier with significant static amplification, we measure the crossover frequency of 200 samples of ADA4898-2 operational amplifiers. This new method gives a significant advantage in accuracy and speed of study of every operational amplifier. The theory we use is based on the universal relation between time dependent output and input voltages. This common relation for all operational amplifiers is applicable for frequencies much smaller than the crossover frequency and the frequencies of non-dominant poles. In other words, this approximation is adequate, when an operational amplifier is included in a circuit with significant amplification.

Riemann-Hilbert problem, integrability and reductions

The present paper is dedicated to integrable models with Mikhailov reduction groups $G_R \simeq \mathbb{D}_h.$ Their Lax representation allows us to prove, that their solution is equivalent to solving Riemann-Hilbert problems, whose contours depend on the realization of the $G_R$-action on the spectral parameter. Two new examples of Nonlinear Evolution Equations (NLEE) with $\mathbb{D}_h$ symmetries are presented.

Determination of Boltzmann constant by equipartition theorem for capacitors

A new experimental set-up for Boltzmann constant measurement is described. Statistically averaged square of voltage $\left $ is measured for different capacitances $C$. Boltzmann constant is determined by the equipartition theorem $C\left =k_{_\mathrm{B}}T$. For fixed capacitance, voltages could be measured for different temperatures. The set-up consists of low-noise high frequency operational amplifiers ADA4898-2. An instrumental amplifier is followed by an inverting amplifier, square of the voltage is created by an analog multiplier AD633 and finally the averaged signal is measured by a multimeter.

Measurement of the electron charge $q_e$ using Schottky noise. Problem of the 6-th Experimental Physics Olympiad. Sofia 8 December 2018

Several consecutive experiments are described with a printed circuit board PCB set-up, especially designed for these experiments. Doing the consecutive experimental tasks opens up possibility to determine the value of electron charge $q_e.$ The fluctuations of the voltage $U(t)$ should be measured for different illuminations of a photodiode. The voltage is amplified 1 million times $Y=10^6$. The amplified voltage $YU(t)$ is applied to the device, which gives the result of the value of the time averaged square of the voltage $U_\mathrm{S}=\left<(Y U(t))^2\right>/U_0$. This voltage $U_\mathrm{S}$ is measured with a multimeter. The series of measurements gives the possibility to determine the $q_e$ using the well known Schottky formula for the spectral density of the current noise $(I^2)_f=2q_e\left .$ For the junior high school students, the basic problem is to analyze the analog squaring. Students' work is separated and graded in four categories S, M, L, XL divided by age of students. For the last XL categories, the tasks contain problems oriented to physics university education program and include theoretical research of the PCB set-up as an engineering device. This is the problem of EPO6, December 2018 ``Day of the Charge'' considered. EPO6 is organized by Sofia branch of Union of physicists in Bulgaria in cooperation with Faculty of physics of Sofia University and Society of Physicists of Republic of Macedonia.

On MKdV Equations Related to the Affine Kac-Moody Algebra $A_{5}^{(2)}$

We have derived a new system of mKdV-type equations which can be related to the affine Lie algebra $A_{5}^{(2)}$. This system of partial differential equations is integrable via the inverse scattering method. It admits a Hamiltonian formulation and the corresponding Hamiltonian is also given. The Riemann-Hilbert problem for the Lax operator is formulated and its spectral properties are discussed.

Soliton equations related to the affine Kac-Moody algebra D^(1)_4

We have derived the hierarchy of soliton equations associated with the untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra D^(1)_4 by calculating the corresponding recursion operators. The Hamiltonian formulation of the equations from the hierarchy is also considered. As an example we have explicitly presented the first non-trivial member of the hierarchy, which is an one-parameter family of mKdV equations. We have also considered the spectral properties of the Lax operator and introduced a minimal set of scattering data.
