Carry out calibration of electromagnets and conduct magneto-optical experiments for InP:Fe samples. The data is acquired in two stages. The first stage is to finish the data acquisition for the present series of samples at various laser wavelength. The second stage involves new samples that are being purchased. In addition to experiments at room temperatures, possibility would be explored of carrying out these experiments at other temperatures. Also, Hall effect and experiments involving the four-point probe are designed and conducted to verify material parameters like conductivity and carrier concentrations in the samples used for the study. This should help us with the development of a mathematical model that can relate the behavior of the above-mentioned samples to their material parameters, and excitation wavelengths used in this study.
