CHAPTER 1: Introduction

Electricity is a flow of tiny particles called electrons which can travel through wires. This flow

is often called an 'electric current'. Just like water, which can only flow down a hill, an electric

current can only flow if there's something to give it a 'push'. A life without electricity would

mean a complete stand still in today’s era.

After studying the different types of materials from electrical properties point of view in depth, I

move on to my project of electrical measurements of metals, semi-metals and a superconductor, and

study their differences. Therefore, I went to the premier research institute in India, National Physical

Laboratory (NPL). NPL had the provisions, equipments and the answers to all my questions. There

were equipments to measure the resistance at low temperature nearing 2K.

The main aim of the NPL as a laboratory is to strengthen and advance physics-based research

and development for the overall development of science and technology in the country. In

particular its objectives are:

To establish, maintain and improve continuously by research, for the benefit of the

nation, National Standards of Measurements and to realize the Units based on

International System.

To assist industries, national and other agencies in their developmental tasks by precision

measurements, calibration, development of devices, processes, and other allied problems

related to physics.

To keep itself informed of and study critically the status of physics.

To invent more real life applications fir benefit of Human race based on the phenomenon

of Superconductivity

CHAPTER 2: Experimental Details

In the National Physical Laboratory I got the opportunity to measure the electrical properties of a

metal, semimetal and superconductor. I took three samples with me: Copper (metal), Graphite

(semi-metal), and tin-lead (superconductor) from home. I obtained the Copper from the house hold

electrical wire, Graphite from the pencil lead and tin-lead from ordinary house-hold solder wire.

Accurate and precise electrical measurements were performed using a current source and voltmeter

attached to the sample connected through a four probe setup put in a Helium cryostat.

2.3.1 The four probe method

One of the greatest advantages of superconductors is their ability to carry large currents through

small areas. A major problem however, is getting the current in and out. They may have very

high current densities, but if there is too much resistance in the electrical contacts the current

Page 8: Electrical properties of a metal, semi metal and superconductor

flow will cause heating at the contacts. Power dissipation as heat is equal to the current flows

multiplied by the voltage drop. Since superconductivity exists only at low temperatures, this

heating causes easy flow of electrical current to be limited. Attaching contact leads to bulk

superconductors can be difficult.

One method for attaching contact leads to your superconductor requires small gauge silver or

copper wire and electrical silver paint. By attaching the leads to the sample with the silver paint

as shown in figure you should have a good four-point probe. If the contact resistance is too high,

scrape the silver paint away. When a simple measurement of electrical resistance is made by a four

probe connection, you unintentionally also measure the resistance of the contact points. In a normal

conductor the resistance of the contact points is relatively small compared to the resistance

of the conductor. However, when measuring the resistance of a superconductor, which has very

low or no resistance, the contact resistance is very significant.

The effect of the contact resistance can be diminished by the use of a four-point probe. The

figure below shows a four point probe attached to a sample. A current source generates a current,

I, which passes through the sample. The voltage drop, V = IR, across the sample is measured using

a voltmeter.

2.3.2 Procedure for the R-T and I-V Measurement

The main aim of the experiment is to study the electric transport through a conductor (Copper

wire), semi-conductor (graphite) and superconductor (Lead-Tin).

1. First, take a copper wire sample from any old unused electronic device like TV remotes

or cell phone charger or house hold electrical wires.

Page 9: Electrical properties of a metal, semi metal and superconductor

9 | P a g e

2. Solder the wire to make a four probe connection in which two probes are for the current

and other two are for the voltage as shown in the figure above.

3. Connect the current probes to the current source and the voltage probes to the voltmeter.

4. Put this four probe assembly in the cryostat.

5. For IV measurement at any temperature, increase the direct current from 0 to 20 mA in

small steps and measure the Voltage.

6. For RT measurement, send a fixed amount of direct current (10 mA) and measure the

voltage by changing the temperature steadily in small steps in range 4.2 - 300 K.

7. Take a pencil and remove it's lead which will give us graphite (semi-metal) and repeat

same steps as above.

8. Take lead-tin solder wire which is a superconductor and repeat same steps as above.

CHAPTER 3: Results and Discussion

3.1 Experimental results

(All the electrical transport data collected on different samples is given in Appendix-A)

3.1.1 Metal - Copper:

The measurements of V-I (at 300K) and R-T of the Copper wire sample were performed to see

its electrical behavior.

1) V-I at room temperature (300K)

For V-I measurement the current was varied from 20 mA to -20 mA in small steps. Voltage

developed across the copper wire was recorded for each value of current in the wire and plotted

as a function of current.

CURRENT

We get a straight line passing through the origin. This indicates that copper follows the Ohm's

law at 300 K that is V is directly proportional to I. The ratio of voltage and current gives the

resistance of wire. As we see the resistance (or the slope of V-I graph) is constant at a given

temperature.

It is observed that for copper metal the resistance decreases as the temperature goes down. At

low temperatures, the resistance achieves a constant value of ~ 9.3 X 10^-5 Ohms. This constant

resistance at low temperature is known as residual resistance, the value of which can vary for a

given material.

It is observed that the resistance decreases as the temperature decreases, as seen in the case of

metals, but the resistance drops to zero at 7.12 K. Here 7.12 K is the critical temperature, Tc of

Lead-Tin superconductor which is the temperature at which its resistance becomes zero. Lead-tin

alloy behaves like a conductor above Tc but shows superconductivity below it.

CURRENT

At 7 K, a temperature below the critical temperature Tc = 7.12K of Lead-Tin superconductor,

when we increase the current from zero the voltage stays zero. But then suddenly at a critical value

of current the voltage starts to increase destroying the superconductivity in the Lead-Tin

superconductor. Below, the critical temperature the V-I graph of Lead-Tin, when it is

superconducting, does not obey Ohm’s law but shows a very non-linear behavior.

3.2 Resistivity Calculations:

The resistivity from the measured resistances and dimensions for all the samples is calculated as

follows:

Resistivity, ρ = R

In a four probe geometry, R is the observed resistance, l is the length between the voltage

contacts (V1 and V2) and A is the area of cross-section perpendicular to the flow of current in

the sample.

3.3 DISCUSSION

Although, the three samples Copper, Graphite and Lead-Tin show a straight line behavior of V-I

plots at 300 K consistent with Ohm’s law, they show very different resistivity values. Graphite

shows nearly four orders of higher resistivity than Lead-Tin sample, which in turn shows two

orders of higher resistivity than Copper. This shows that resistivity of semi-metal >> resistivity

of alloy metal >> resistivity of pure metal. I tried to understand by the following band picture:

Page 19: Electrical properties of a metal, semi metal and superconductor

19 | P a g e

In case of Copper, a metal, its valence electrons are essentially free. In the band theory, this is

depicted as an overlap of the valence band and the conduction band as shown in the above diagram,

such that a larger fraction of the valence electrons can move freely through the material giving a

very low resistivity. In comparison, in Graphite, a semi-metal, the overlap between the valence

band and the conduction band is pinched, that leads to concentration of free electrons much lower

than that of a metal. The much lower concentration of free electrons results in much higher

resistivity in case of semi-metal.

As the temperature is increased, the resistance as a function of temperature for copper shows an

increase while for graphite it decreases. In copper (metal) the primary cause of its resistivity is

mainly the collision of the free electrons with the vibrations of the atoms that make the

crystal/material. These collisions act to distract these electrons from their original movement

path and this shows up as resistance. As the temperature increases, the atomic vibrations increase

and thus also the number of collisions increase, leading to increase in the resistivity of metal. On

the other hand, in case of graphite (semimetal) as the temperature is increased not only the

collisions increase, but also the concentration of free electrons increases, as they can jump over

in the pinched region. Thus there will be a competition between these two opposing effects, the

former that increases the resistance and latter that decreases the resistance. In case of graphite

(semi-metal) the latter wins and thus the overall resistance decreases as temperature increases.

The case of lead-tin sample is similar to metal, but since it is a mixture of two metals, that increases

the number collsion centres and the overall resistance increases with repsect to pure metal (copper).

Page 20: Electrical properties of a metal, semi metal and superconductor

20 | P a g e

In case of Lead-Tin sample, the resistance as a function of temperature follows similar

decrease as Copper-metal up to T~8 K. As the temperature is further decreased below 7.2 K, the

resistance jumps very quickly to zero at the critical temperature Tc = 7.12 K. This property is a

characteristic property of a superconducting material. Below the critical temperature, a

superconductor shows zero resistance to the current flow. It is interesting that at all temperatures

between ~ 7.2 – 300 K, Copper shows a resistivity much much lower compared to lead-tin

sample, however it still does not become superconducting even at the lowest temperatures. It

implies that we cannot predict any material to be superconducting based on its resistivity near

room temperatures. At 300 K the V-I for Lead-Tin alloy is consistent with Ohm’s law but

becomes non-linear below the critical temperature. It is observed that at 7 K (<

7.12 K), when we increase the current the voltage suddenly jumps from zero to a finite value,

which continuously increases with current. This critical value of current, where the voltage V

(or resistance R= V/I) becomes non-zero is called critical current. Thus superconductors can

be defined by two critical parameters called critical temperature and critical current.

21 | P a g e

CHAPTER 4: Conclusion

From the experimental results, plotted graphs, calculations, analysis, discussion and current

knowledge I have conclude the following:

Copper shows a very small resistivity and follows Ohm’s Law at room temperature,

showing linear V-I behavior. Electrical resistance is dependent on temperature. The

resistance decreases with decreasing temperature and becomes constant below a

particular low temperature. Thus, Copper shows the characteristic property of metal

with a positive temperature coefficient and a residual rersistance.

Graphite shows a very high resistivity in comparison to Copper, but also follows Ohm’s

Law at room temperature, showing linear V-I behavior. Its resistance increases with

decreasing temperature. Thus, graphite shows the characteristic property of

semimetal with a negative temperature coefficient.

Lead- Tin alloy shows resistivity higher than Copper and lower than Graphite, but also

follows Ohm’s Law at room temperature. As the temperature is lowered the resistance

decreases continuously until a critical temperature, Tc (7.12K) at which resistance drops

to zero. Below Tc, the V-I is non-linear and shows a critical current behavior. Lead-tin

alloy behaves like a metal until a critical temperature but it becomes superconducting

below its critical temperature.

Although the origin of electrical transport in all materials is due to free electrons.

Interestingly, they can organize themselves differently in terms of concentration

that may depend on temperature, their interactions and collisions with atomic

vibrations, all of which can lead to unpredictably different electrical behavior in

metals, semi-metals and superconductors.
