Measurements of near-equilibrium transport are commonly used to characterize electronic materials. This lecture is a brief introduction to commonly-used techniques such as van der Pauw and Hall effect measurements.

Outline:

1. Introduction
2. Resistivity / conductivity measurements
3. Hall effect measurements
4. The van der Pauw method
5. Temperature-dependent measurements
6. Discussion
7. Summary

“Electronics from the Bottom Up” is an educational initiative designed to bring a new perspective to the field of nano device engineering. It is co-sponsored by the Intel Foundation and the Network for Computational Nanotechnology.
