Low Temperature Physics
Researchers: Prof George Pickett, Dr Viktor Tsepelin Dr Sergey Kafanov, Dr Dmitry Zmeev
Talks and discussion on Low Temperature research at Lancaster. Demonstrations of superconductivity and discussion of explaining this phenomenon. Tour of the experiment to reach the Lowest Temperature for bulk matter? The physics of a measuring temperature using a fundamental scale. Activities for teaching Thermal Physics in the A2 course
Programme: • Refreshments • Talks
• Tour of experiment • Workshop: Measuring the critical temp of a
superconductor
• Workshop: measure the specific heat of vaporisation of liquid N2
Aim: For Physics teachers to have the opportunity to develop their understanding of physics concepts through discussion with Physics researchers. Their new knowledge and understanding is then shared with their students while teaching the curriculum in more innovative and exciting ways.
Monday 17th February 2020: 09.30 to 16.00 LANCASTER UNIVERSITY PHYSICS DEPARTMENT
