The nonequilibrium current fluctuations were found to be suppressed by both Coulomb and Fermi correlations. We show that the Fermi shot-noise suppression factor is limited below by the value 2kT/epsilon_F, where T is the temperature and epsilon_F the Fermi energy of the injected electrons. The Coulomb noise suppression factor may attain much lower values epsilon_F/2qU, because of its dependence on the applied bias U >> kT/q. The asymptotic behaviour of the overall shot-noise suppression factor in a high degenerate limit was found to be kT/qU, independently of the material parameters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-08-22T11:51:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coulomb correlations", "fermi shot-noise suppression factor", "coulomb noise suppression factor", "overall shot-noise suppression factor", "degenerate fermi-dirac electrons" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
