Current–Voltage Characteristics (IV)
Measures how electrical current varies with applied voltage across a material or device. Used to evaluate conductivity, resistance, and performance of electronic and photovoltaic devices.
Sample requirements
- State the nature of the sample (for example hazardous, volatile, or explosive).
- Only film samples with dimensions of at least 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm are acceptable.
The official proforma is titled IV/PV Analysis. The published rate line is Current-Voltage Characteristics (IV).
