Advanced Undergraduate Laboratory in Solid State Physics

为攻读物理及相关学科的高年级本科生开设了一门高级实验课程。在这门实验课程中，有13个实验。这些方法如下：1)x射线分析；2)电阻率与温度的关系；3)霍尔效应与温度、漂移速度的关系；4)导热系数与温度的关系；5)热电功率与温度的关系；6)磁化率随温度变化；7)磁化与温度的关系；8)超导性-金属和氧化物；9)红外吸收；10)内部光电发射；11)少数载流子寿命；穆斯堡尔光谱；还有电子隧穿。大多数设备项目都是购买的，但他们正在为自己制造诸如带有相关低温探头和真空管道的低温杜瓦站之类的项目。与此同时，一门为期一学期的固态物理入门讲座课程也正在开发中。讲座和实验课是一起开设的。

An upper-division laboratory course is being established for undergraduate students at the senior level who are pursuing physics and related disciplines. Within this laboratory course, there are 13 experiments. These are as follows: 1) x- ray analysis; 2) electrical resistivity vs. temperature; 3) Hall Effect vs. temperature, drift velocity; 4) thermal conductivity vs. temperature; 5) thermoelectric power vs. temperature; 6) magnetic susceptibility vs. temperature; 7) magnetization vs. temperature; 8) superconductivity - metallic and oxide; 9) infrared absorption; 10) internal photoemission; 11) minority carrier lifetime; 12) Mossbauer spectroscopy; and 13) electron tunneling.Most of the equipment items are being purchased, but they are making for themselves such items as low-temperature dewar stations with associated cryogenic probes and vacuum plumbing.A one-semester introductory lecture course in solid state physics is also being developed the at same time. The lecture and laboratory courses are being offered together.
