Engineering Physics/Applied Physics
Final Year Project work on direct measurement of the spin polarization of a novel material using Point Contact Andreev Reflection (PCAR) Spectroscopy. PCAR spectroscopy is a powerful tool to investigate the superconducting gap structure in superconductors. The measurement was performed using a home-build point contact device, where the data acquisition was completed through an own-developed LabView program.
