Measurement of non-Gaussian shot noise: influence of the environment
arXiv:cond-mat/0403437 · doi:10.1117/12.543529
Abstract
We present the first measurements of the third moment of the voltage fluctuations in a conductor. This technique can provide new and complementary information on the electronic transport in conducting systems. The measurement was performed on non-superconducting tunnel junctions as a function of voltage bias, for various temperatures and bandwidths up to 1GHz. The data demonstrate the significant effect of the electromagnetic environment of the sample.
