Hall-Effect and Electrical Conductivity
Supervisor: M. Sc. Jorrit Bredow
Electrical
and galvanometric measurements are done on semiconductor
samples to determine the characteristic parameters like the
specific resistance, the Hall coefficient, and the
concentration and mobility of charge carriers. The geometric
dimensions of the samples are determined with a CCD camera.
a) Measurements on n- and p-conducting silicon samples of definite geometry at room temperature
- Determination of the specific resistance
- Determination of the Hall coefficient, the conducting type, and the charge carrier concentration
b) Measurements on GaAs-samples in temperature range from 77 K to 300 K yield the temperature dependence of the
- Specific resistance
- Hall coefficient
- Charge carrier concentration and charge carrier mobility
