Hall Effect Setup

The document describes the HEX-21C Hall Effect Experiment setup. It consists of (1) a germanium Hall probe, (2) a digital Hall effect setup (DHE-21C) with millivoltmeter and constant current power supply, (3) an electromagnet, (4) power supply, (5) gaussmeter, and (6) computer interface (SES-CAMM2). The setup allows measuring the Hall voltage and calculating the Hall coefficient, carrier mobility, and carrier density to study semiconductor properties. The computer interface provides control, data storage, and graph plotting of experimental results.

10µV, zero drift of less than 1µV/°C, input bias current of
10pA max. and roll over error of less than one count. Since
the use of internal reference causes the degradation in
performance due to internal heating, an external reference
has been used. Digital voltmeter is much more convenient
to use in Hall experiment, because the input voltage of
either polarity can be measured.

Accuracy : ±0.1% of reading ±1 digit

(ii) Constant Current Power Supply


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.
