Advanced Undergraduate Laboratory in Solid State Physics

正在为攻读物理和相关学科的高年级本科生设立一门高级实验室课程。在本实验课中，有13个实验。它们如下：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)热导率与温度的关系；5)热电功率与温度的关系；6)磁化率与温度的关系；7)磁化强度与温度的关系；8)超导-金属和氧化物；9)红外吸收；10)内光电发射；11)少数载流子寿命；12)穆斯堡尔谱；13)电子隧穿。大多数设备正在采购中，但他们正在为自己制造低温杜瓦站以及相关的低温探头和真空管道。同时还正在开发一门为期一学期的固体物理入门课程。讲座和实验室课程一起提供。

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.
