    User's Manual: Magnetoresistance Set-Up

    Uploaded by

    Allan Marbaniang
    This document provides a user's manual for a magnetoresistance setup (Model DMR-01) that is used to measure the magnetoresistance of semiconductors. It consists of a four probe arrangement to supply current and measure voltage on a sample (e.g. germanium crystal), a magnetoresistance unit with digital voltmeter and current power supply, and an electromagnet. The setup works by applying a magnetic field to the sample and measuring changes in resistance. Magnetoresistance occurs because the magnetic field causes carriers in the sample to have different drift velocities, decreasing the mean free path and increasing resistivity. Circuit diagrams and specifications are provided for the digital voltmeter, current supply, and overall setup.

    Measurement of Magnetoresistance of Semiconductors


    It is noticed that the resistance of the sample
    changes when the magnetic field is turned on. The
    phenomenon, called magnetoresistance, is due to
    the fact that the drift velocity of all carriers is not
    same. With the magnetic field on; the Hall voltage
    V = E y t = v H compensates exactly the Lorentz
    force for carriers with the average velocity; slower
    carriers will be over compensated and faster one
    undercompensated, resulting in trajectories that are
    not along the applied field. This results in an effective
    decrease of the mean free path and hence an
    increase in resistivity.
    Here the above referred symbols are defines
    as: v = drift velocity; E = applied electric field; t =
    thickness of the crystal; H = Magnetic field

    Experimented Set-up for Magnetoresistance


    The set-up consists of the following:
    1. Four probe arrangement
    2. Sample: (Ge: p-type)
    3. Magnetoresistance set-up, DMR-11
    4. Electromagnet, EMU-50V
    5. Constant Current Power Supply, DPS-50
    6. Digital Gaussmeter, DGM-102
    (1) Four Probe arrangement
    It consists of 4 collinear, equally spaced (2mm) and individually spring loaded probes mounted on a
    PCB strip. Two outer probes for supplying the constant current to the sample and two inner probes
    for measuring the voltage developed across these probes. This eliminate the error due to contact
    resistance which is particularly serious in semiconductors. A platform is also provided for placing the
    sample and mounting the Four Probes on It.
    (2) Sample
    Ge Crystal (n-type) dimensions : 10 x 10 x 0.5mm.
    (3) Magnetoresistance Set-up, Model DMR-11
    This unit consists of a digital millivoltmeter and constant current power supply. The voltage and
    probe current can be read on the same digital panel meter through a selector switch.
    (a) Digital Millivoltmeter

    (b) Constant Current Power Supply

    Intersil 3 digit single chip ICL 7107 have


    been used. Since the use of internal reference
    causes the degradation in performance due to
    internal heating an external reference have
    been used. Digital voltmeter is much more
    convenient to use, because the input voltage
    of either polarity can be measured.
    Specifications
    Range : 0-200mV (100V minimum)
    Accuracy : 0.1% of reading 1 digit

    This power supply, specially designed for


    Hall Probe, provides 100% protection
    against crystal burn-out due to excessive
    current. The supply is a highly regulated and
    practically ripple free dc source.
    Specifications
    Current : 0-20mA
    Resolution : 10A
    Accuracy : 0.2% of the reading 1 digit
    Load regulated : 0.03% for 0 to full load
    Line regulation : 0.05% for 10% variation
