- Four-probe method for resistance measurement.
- Magnetic hysteresis loop on various magnetic materials
- Resistance and Magnetoresistance of some standard materials.
- KCl Fluorescence. Study and color centers.
- Advanced and non-standard experiments
- Meissner effect of YBCo
- Design and fabricate a dip-stick to measure resistance versus
temperature of a superconductor (YBCo) between nitrogen and room
temperature.
- Study of sand piles.
