Re: Lab Report

legit.? Jack must be looking at a different page that I received from the
one given below. Kovar's data is noise, and a great deal of it too! (10X).

before thinking I wrote:

my immediate comment:

There is a failure somewhere. Either the Ge supplied, instructor and/or TA
are deficient, or he didn't follow instructions. (His complaints about
Stanford Physics are very serious.)

1 He didn't report if the connections were ohmic.
2 Not supplied with In and/or Ga containing solder
3 Didn't give R0, so one may determine if the Ge is intrinsic.
3 He should have obtained > three orders of mag. (200 deg. C => 300) change
in resistance.
4 etc.

bc Who read part of Ch. 8 Kittel

Hi all-
It looks legit to me. He is demonstrating the first step in
becoming a theorist. Checking out his web site, it appears that this was
from his undergrad days as a physics major at Stanford. He now is a CS
grad student at U Wis.

Jack
