BEX-8507 PN junction and Boltzmann constant experiment apparatus
This apparatus uses a microcurrent source to provide forward current through a PN junction. Adjusting the source determines forward voltage drop while avoiding instability in microcurrent measurements and enabling accurate voltage-drop measurements. A temperature-control unit provides current-voltage curves at different temperatures for studying the relationships among junction voltage, current, and temperature, obtaining Boltzmann's constant k, sensitivity S, and the silicon band gap. An optional PASCO interface provides efficient, accurate digital acquisition and analysis.

Key Features
More accurate Boltzmann-constant measurements using a constant microcurrent source with 4 output ranges of 10-6~10-9A. Stable precision output from 1nA to 1mA resolves unstable microcurrent measurement and enables accurate forward-voltage-drop measurement. Semiconductor heating and cooling provide rapid temperature changes. An open design with multiple general-purpose temperature sockets supports PN-junction sensors and user measurements of thermistors, copper resistance sensors, thermocouples, AD590, LM35, and other sensors. Optional digital experiments: PASCO interfaces for voltage, current, and temperature enable software acquisition of large datasets for fast, convenient, accurate analysis.
