User's Manual: Magnetoresistance Set-Up

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
