This is an experiment designed to measure the resistance of copper and gold nanowires using a lock-in amplifier. Students learn:
1. about different types of noise, 2. the principles of phase-sensitive techniques, 3. to extract signals buried in noise using a lock-in amplifier, 4. to operate optical chopper to measure weak optical signals modulated at a certain frequency. 4. to measure the minute resistance of a conducting nanowires.
