Advanced Physics Laboratory Condensed Matter Upgrade

本科实验课程的主要目标之一是培养熟悉现代仪器的物理专业毕业生，并训练他们将这些仪器与计算机连接起来。他们的物理专业学生必须选修计算机控制和计算机数据采集与分析课程。高等本科实验室需要现代化的仪器，以便他们能够在学生在本课程中所接受的训练的基础上建立。他们正在给先进的本科生实验室增加一个变温设备。该设备包括一个低温冷却器和相关的温度控制和测量仪器，以及附加的带有计算机接口的仪器，用于在该低温冷却器上进行实验。该设施允许他们将凝聚态物理实验引入实验室课程，以便学生在他们毕业后大多数人将从事的研究领域得到培训。

One of the major goals of the undergraduate laboratory curriculum is to graduate physics majors who are familiar with modern instrumentation and are trained to interface this instrumentation with a computer. Their physics majors are required to take a course in the computer control and computer acquisition and analysis of data. Modern instrumentation is required in the advanced undergraduate laboratory so that they are able to build on the training students have received in this course.They are adding a variable temperature facility to the advanced undergraduate laboratories. This equipment includes a cryocooler and associated temperature control and measurement instrumentation and additional instruments with computer interface to use with experiments performed on this cryocooler. This facility allows them to introduce condensed matter physics experiments into the laboratory curriculum so that students are being trained in the area of study most of them will pursue after graduation.
