Theory and experiment have shown that in small electrical conductors the non-linear I-V-characteristic of two-terminal conductor exhibits terms which are asymmetric in magnetic field and thus micro-reversibility is manifestly broken. We discuss a non-equilibrium fluctuation dissipation theorem which is not based on micro-reversibility. It connects the antisymmetric nonlinear conductance with the third cumulant of equilibrium current fluctuations and a noise term that is proportional to temperature, magnetic field and voltage.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-07-20T15:57:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.23.-b", "72.70.+m", "42.50.Lc" ], "keywords": [ "two-terminal conductor", "fluctuation relations", "micro-reversibility", "theorem relates equilibrium current correlations", "fluctuation-dissipation theorem relates equilibrium current" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "AIP Conf.
