Accessing and Displaying Measurement Details

For each point in a Hall experiment, up to 32 individual resistance measurements will be made. Each van der Pauw resistivity requires 8 measurements, and the Hall resistance requires 4 measurements (with both geometric configurations selected). For a temperature dependent measurement, the zero field resistivity is measured at each temperature. The measurement sequence (for all options selected) is: Temperature Dependent Measurement: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Measure Measure Measure Measure Measure zero field resistance (8 measurements). Hall resistance at +B (4 measurements). resistivity at +B ( 8 measurements). Hall resistance at -B (4 measurements). resistivity at -B (8 measurements). Magnetic Field Dependent Measurements: Measure zero field resistivity once (8 measurements) for each field: 1. 2. 3. 4. Measure Hall resistance at +B (4 measurements). Measure resistivity at +B (8 measurements). Measure Hall resistance at -B (4 measurement). Measure resistivity at -B (8 measurements).

As shown above, this can be represented as a 6-level tree. From the Hall experiment program a User can select a menu item to display details. After selecting the point of interest, the User is shown a dialog box display the information in the top level of the tree. This is the field average Hall results, density, mobility, hall coefficient.
