Shot-noise anomalies in nondegenerate elastic diffusive conductors
We present a theoretical investigation of shot-noise properties in nondegenerate elastic diffusive conductors. Both Monte Carlo simulations and analytical approaches are used. Two interesting phenomena are found: ~i! the display of enhanced shot noise for given energy dependences of the scattering time, and ~ii! the recovery of full shot noise for asymptotic high applied bias. The first phenome...
متن کاملInelastic Scattering and Shot Noise in Diffusive Mesoscopic Conductors
A short summary of the drift-diffusion-Langevin formalism for calculating finite-frequency shot noise in diffusive conductors is presented. Two new results are included in this presentation. First, we arrive at a simple (but accurate) phenomenological expression for the semiclassical distribution function of electrons in the presence of electron-electron scattering. Second, it is shown that in ...
متن کاملKinetic theory of shot noise in nondegenerate diffusive conductors
We investigate current fluctuations in nondegenerate semiconductors, on length scales intermediate between the elastic and inelastic mean free paths. We present an exact solution of the nonlinear kinetic equations in the regime of space-charge limited conduction, without resorting to the drift approximation of previous work. By including the effects of a finite voltage and carrier density in th...
متن کاملFractional exclusion statistics and shot noise in ballistic conductors
We study the noise properties of ballistic conductors with carriers satisfying fractional exclusion statistics. To test directly the nature of exclusion statistics we found that systems under weakly degenerate conditions should be considered. Typical of these systems is that the chemical potential m is in the thermal range umu ,3kBT . In these conditions the noise properties under current satur...
متن کاملAnomalous crossover between thermal and shot noise in macroscopic diffusive conductors
We predict the existence of an anomalous crossover between thermal and shot noise in macroscopic diffusive conductors. We first show that, besides thermal noise, these systems may also exhibit shot noise due to fluctuations of the total number of carriers in the system. Then we show that at increasing currents the crossover between the two noise behaviors is anomalous, in the sense that the low...
