Theory:
Dielectric or electrical insulating materials are the materials in while electrostatic fields can
persists for a long time. The use of a dielectric in a capacitor presents several advantages. The
simplest of these is that the conducting plates can be placed very close to one another without risk
of contact. Also if subjected to a very high electric field any substance will ionize and become a
conductor. Dielectrics are more resistant to ionization then air, so a capacitor containing a
dielectric can be subjected to a higher voltage. Thus the materials with high DC are useful in the
manufacturer of high value. Capacitor Dielectric material can be solids, liquids or gases.
(eeamples) glass, kerosene, Dry air. Dielectric constant is the ratio of the capacitance © at a
capacitor filled with the dielectric medium to the capacitance (Co) of the capacitance without the
presence of the dielectric medium.

The dielectric constant shows on peak at the Curie point. The measurement of the dielectric
constant as a function of temperature helps to estimate the Curie point.
All the ferroelectric materials (such as BaTiO3) have a transition temperature and it is called
Curie temperature. At the particular temperature the capacitance of the ferroelectric materials
(BaTiO3) will suddenly changes to a maximum value. The corresponding temperature, where the
sudden change in capacitance, is called the phase transistion temperature.
Procedure:
Put a small piece of aluminum foil on the base plate. Pull the spring loaded probes upward
insert the aluminum foil and let them rest on it. Put the sample (BaTiO3) on the foil. Again pull the
top of the proper and insert the sample below if and let it rest on it gently. Now one of the probes
would be in contact with the lower surface through aluminum foil.
Connect the probe leads to the capacitance connect the oven to the main unit and put oven
in off position. Switch on the main unit and note the values of capacitance. It should be a stable
reading and is obtained directly in pf. Switch on the temperature controller and set the temperature
the green LED would light up indicating the oven is ON and the temperature would start raising.
The controller of the oven would switch ON/OFF power corresponding to set temperature.
Due to thermal inertia of oven there could be some overheat of undershoot before steady
temperature and many take minutes for each reading.
The temperature continues to start rising and take reading for every two minutes. After if
reaches the Curie point there will be sudden change in temperature at temperature at this state is
very low.
Result:
The dielectric constant of the given material (Barium Titanate) found out for the various
temperatures. Curie temperature of the given sample (BaTiO3) also measured from cooling and
heating curves.

The prism is placed on the prism table with the refracting edge at the centre of the table
facing the collimator. The reflecting faces are kept symmetrical with respect to the axis of the
collimator. The rays from the collimator falling on the faces of the prism get reflected. The
telescope is turned to see the reflected mage from one polished face of the prism. The telescope is
fixed and the tangential screw is adjusted so that the junction of the cross-wire comes to the middle
of the reflected image of the slit. The main scale reading and the vernier reading are noted. The
total reading R1 in vernier (A) is found. The reading R2 on the other vernier (B) also noted.
The telescope is released and it is turned to see the reflected image from the other face of
the prism and the reading R2 as before is noted from A and B.
2A = R1 ~ R2
The direct ray readings are taken as R1. The prism is mounted on the prism table in such a
way that the light falls on its second face. The telescope is turned to view the spectrum always in
the field at view. The prism table is rotated, so that the spectrum moves towards the direct ray
position and bring to reflect its path.
The prism is set in the minimum deviation position corresponding to the prominent green
line of the mercury spectrum. The point of the intersection of the cross wire is made to coincide
with the fixed edge of the green image of the slit and telescope readings are taken as R2, R2 ~ R1
gives D. the prism is set for the various other lines of the mercury spectrum. In each case, the angle
of minimum deviation D and refractive index are calculated.
The relation between the refractive index and the wavelength is given by the formula
=(A+D)/2, where A,B are known Cauchy‟s constants. To determine A and B, the wavelength ---
for the prominent lines of the mercury spectrum should be found. Their wavelength can be
determined by using a grating at a normal incidence on its own minimum deviation position and
the constants are noted in a table. A graph is plotted for and 1/2. It is a straight line.

There are many methods for making resistivity measurement. But the standard and accurate
method is four probe method. In its usual form, the four probes are collinear and current flows to
the outer pair contacts and the potential across the inner pair is measured. If the flat surface in
which the probe rest is adequately large of the crystal is big. The semiconductor may be considered
to be a semi infinite volume. To present minority carrier injection and make good contacts the
surface on which the probe rest may be mechanically lapped.
Procedure:
First take out the four probe arrangement from the oven and put it on a plane surface. Now
put the sample on the circular base plate of the four probe arrangement such that the non-
conducting surface of the crystal should be on the plate side and four probe are in the middle of the
crystal. Apply some pressure slightly on the pipe. So that it clearly makes the contacts with the
sample and tighter the screw. Now check the continuity between the sample and four probe by the
multimeter.
1. If the contacts are loose, tighter the three screws provided on the top of the base stand till
the four probes touch the crystal.
2. Put the thermometer in the probe provided in four probes arrangement to measure the oven
temperature.
3. Put the four probe arrangement in the oven and check the continuity between the each pair
of leads again.
4. Connected the green leads to the output terminals of the constant current source. Marked
current and the range leads to the input terminals of the digital voltmeter marked “voltage”.
6. Put the selector switch in current position and range multipliers. Switch at x1 position
adjust current to zero with the help of current adj. knob change the selector switch in
voltage position and adjust zero in DVM of shorting the voltage.
7. Again change the selector switch in current position and apply some current say 5mA with
the help of current adj. knob and note that reading. Further change the selector switch. In
voltage position and range multiplier. Switch in x10 range and note the corresponding
voltage in DVM. Also note the corresponding temperature in thermometer. Record these
readings in the table change the range multiplier switch in the range when the voltage
reading reaches below 20mV. Check the current value by changing the selector switch. It
must be fixed.

Aim:
To study the hall effect in a given semiconductor and to determine the following
parameters, viz.,( i) hall voltage (VH) (ii) hall co-efficient (RH) (iii) concentration of charge
carriers (n) (iv) mobility of charge carriers(µ) and (v) hall angle (θH).
Apparatus required:
Semiconductor crystal (Ge), Hall probe, Hall effect setup, Electromagnet, Constant power
supply (current), digital gauss mater etc.,
Formulae:
Where,
VH - hall voltage
Ω - Thickness of the specimen
B - Applied magnetic field
I - current applied to the Ge crystal
e - charge of the carrier (ρ=1.6x10-19c)
σ - electrical conductivity of the Ge crystal
Theory:
Consider a specimen where it carries a current Ix along the X- direction under the
application of a transverse magnetic field BZ along the Z-direction. Then a force called the Lorentz
force is developed along the Y-direction. Due to the force, the charge carriers are forced to move
downwards and they accumulate near the bottom face. If the specimen is a metal, where only one
type of charge carriers (i.e.,) electrons exist, they are forced down to the bottom surface which
becomes more negative, when compared to that of a top surface. Hence a potential difference is
developed between the bottom and top surface.
14
II-year M.Sc. Physics Practical Experiments (DD&CE) 2021
If the specimen is an n-type semiconductor where the electrons are forced down into the
bottom surface. Therefore the top and bottom surfaces become positive and negative respectively.
In a P-type semiconductor, the bottom surface is occupied by holes and becomes more positive
compared to the top surface. In all the above cases, the potential; difference between the upper and
the lower surfaces is known as Hall Voltage.
Hall voltage is given by VH = BI/(neω). Here 1/ne =RH which is known as Hall Co-efficient
and the same is given by (RH) =(VH)ω/BI, where ω is thickness of the specimen, I is the current to
the Ge crystal and B is the magnetic field.
Mobility is defined as the ratio of the average drift velocity per unit electric field. It can be
determined by using the relation µ= RHσ . If θH is the hall angle then one can calculate the same by
using the relation tan θH=EH/EX, where EH is the hall field (i.e,.) the hall voltage measured per unit
thickness of the specimen.
Procedure
The widthwise contacts of the Hall probe are connected to the terminals marked as voltage;
the lengthwise contacts are connected to the terminals marked as current. The Hall Effect setup is
switched on and the current is set for few milliamperes. The display in the Hall Effect setup is set
to voltage side. There may be some voltage reading even when the specimen or hall probe is
outside the magnetic field. This is due to the imperfect alignment of four contacts (two for
measuring current and another two for measuring hall voltage) of the Hall probe and is generally
known as zero field potential. In case its value is comparable to hall voltage it should be adjusted
to a minimum as possible. The probe is placed in a magnetic field now switch on the
electromagnetic power supply and adjust the current to any desired value. The hall or the specimen
is rotated till it becomes perpendicular to the magnetic field. Hall voltage is maximum in this
adjustment. Hall voltage is measured as a function of magnetic field keeping a suitable value of
current fixed. The magnetic field is measured by using a gauss meter. Hall voltage are measured by
changing the current directions for a given direction and magnitude of a magnetic field. Similarly
VH is measured by exchanging the directions of the current and magnetic field. All the observations
are recorded as in table shown below for three different values of current. The values of the
parameters viz., Hall coefficient, concentration of charge carriers and hall angle are calculated
15

using the relations as discussed in the theory section. Plot of VH as a function of B and also θH as a
function of B are made and used for an analysis of the observations.

Aim:
To determine the velocity of ultrasonic waves in liquid medium
Apparatus:
Ultrasonic Interferometer, Organic liquids, Power supply, pipette etc.
Formula:
1. Wavelength = (2d/n)* m
where
d – Distance between the reflections in m.
n – Number of fringes
2. Velocity v = (m/s)
where
- frequency of the high frequency generator
- wavelength of ultrasonic waves in m
The principle used in the measurement of velocity (v) is based on the accurate
determination of the waves of known frequency (f) are produced by a movable metallic plate kept
parallel to the quartz crystal. If the separation between these two plates is exactly a whole multiple
of the sound wavelength, standing waves are formed in the medium. This acoustic resonance gives
rise to an electrical reaction on the generator driving the quartz crystal and the anode current of the
generator becomes maximum.
If the distance is increased or decreased and the variation is exactly one half wavelength
(/2) or multiple of it , anode current becomes maximum from the wavelength, the velocity can be
obtained by the relation.

Procedure:
The measuring cell is connected to the output terminal of the high frequency generator
through a shielded cable. The cell is filled with experimental liquid before switching on the
generator. The ultrasonic waves move normal from the quartz crystal till they are reflected back

plate and the quartz crystal. The micrometer is slowly moved till the anode current on the meter on
the high frequency generator shows a maximum. A number of maxima reading of anode current are
passed and their number „n‟ are counted. The total distance (d) gives the values of the wavelength
