Electrical & Magnetic Techniques

Content

 This course will introduce the student to techniques commonly used to measure the magnetic and electrical properties of materials. Specific topics covered in the course will include a basic introduction to the classes of magnetic and electronic materials and their properties; definitions of measurable quantities and units; magnet design; magnetometers; measuring magnetization, susceptibility, magnetocrystalline anisotropy and magnetostriction; imaging magnetism; electrical contacts and contact configurations; dc and ac measurements; resistivity, Hall effect and magnetoresistance; experimental artefacts in magnetic and electrical data.
