Hall Effect Measurement System (HEMS, Electrical Characterization)

5 December 2024

Hall technique encompasses Hall Mobility Measurements, Hall Voltage Measurements, I-V Curve Measurements, Resistance Measurements, Magnetoresistance Measurements, Carrier Concentration Measurements, and Four- and Six-Contact Resistance Measurements. These measurements result from the interaction between the current passing through a material and the magnetic field applied to it.
