SOME OF THE INSTRUMENTS USED IN THE LABORATORIES

BRIEF DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTS

• Complete Electronic Kit : Power supply, DSO, Function generator and Digital multimeter
• B-H  Curve set up:  The complete B-H curve set up  is  used to described hysteresis loop.  It is an  important tool   to calculate  the magnetic properties  of different magnetic materials. 
• Antenna Kit: This kit is used to study the  reflection, refraction  Polarization and double slit interference in microwaves
• Source Meter:  A very precise instrument used for ( current-voltage) I- V characterisation for wide variety of materials and semiconductor testing.
• Surface Plasmon Resonance system: This setup can be used to find the  complex dielectric constant and plasma frequency of a metal  along with the  refractive index of a dielectric material.
• Four Probe Set up:  It is a valuable tool which help us in the  study of   resistivity of semiconductor  with temperature  and hence  we can  calculate the band gap of  it.
• Gouy’s Set up: This simple method is used to determine the magnetic susceptibility of magnetic material ( dia  or para)  by measuring the force exerted on the sample by a magnetic field gradient.
• Hall Effect set up:  It is a very important set up which determine  Hall coefficient,  Hall angle , mobility and concentration of carriers  in the semiconductor sample.
