Try it yourself

Flip the field, flip the sign

Move the magnetic field and switch between n-type and p-type germanium. The Hall voltage reverses sign for the other carrier type.

What your students will do
1

Mount a germanium sample

Insert a doped (n-type or p-type) or undoped germanium carrier board into the unit.

2

Measure the Hall voltage

Vary the magnetic field and sample current, up to ±55 mA, and record the Hall voltage that appears across the sample.

3

Heat and compare

Warm the sample up to 140 °C to see how conductivity and carrier behavior change, and tell n-type from p-type by the sign of the voltage.

Common questions
Does it work on U.S. power?

Yes. Units supplied through American Scientific are adapted for 110V/60Hz and supported in the U.S., including warranty and replacement parts.

What else do I need to run the experiment?

Tell us about your lab in the form above and we'll put together a complete, ready-to-teach configuration, so nothing is missing on day one.

Can grant funding cover this?

Often, yes. Many institutions fund PHYWE equipment through NSF, Title IV and CTE programs, and our team can help you find and apply for the right opportunity.
