Physics Practicals 1 - 4PMNTP14

Goal(s)

experimental training based on a set of practical experiments covering a large panel of techniques
encountered in industry and in labs (cryogenics, vacuum techniques). The student realises measurements and analyses them with a critical point of view.

Content(s)

• Supraconductivity (4h) : low temperature cryogenics (He), measurement of Tc and trapped magnetic flux
• Atomic Force Microscope (4h) : principle and use.
• Hall Effect (4h) : response of a low gap InSb semi-conductor
• Magnetoresistance (4h) : Measurement on a sample with GMR, used in magnetic recording heads.
• Vaccums Techniques (4h) : principle of primary and secondary vaccum, pressure probes
