The measured white noise exceeds the thermal (Johnson-Nyquist) noise expected from the measured electron temperature $T_\\text{e}$ and the electrical resistance $R$. This excess part of the white noise decreases as $T_\\text{bath}$ increases and vanishes for $T_\\text{bath}\\geq 12\\text{ K}$. Excess noise is neither observed if one arm of a quantum ring is depleted of electrons nor in 1D-constrictions that have a length and width comparable to the quantum rings. A model is presented that suggests that the excess noise originates from the correlation of noise sources, mediated by phase-coherent propagation of electrons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-09T22:04:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum ring", "white noise decreases", "excess noise originates", "measured white noise exceeds", "excess part" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
