Theoretical and experimental work concerned with dynamic fluctuations has developed into
a very active and fascinating subfield of mesoscopic physics. We present a review of this …

Mesoscopic physics refers to the physics of structures larger than a nanometer (one billionth
of a meter) but smaller than a micrometer (one millionth of a meter). This size range is the …

We use time-resolved charge detection techniques to investigate single-electron tunneling
in semiconductor quantum dots. The ability to detect individual charges in real-time makes it …

Terahertz waves, which lie in the frequency range of 0.1-10 THz, have long been
investigated in a few limited fields, such as astronomy, because of a lack of devices for their …

Resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) have the potential for use as compact and coherent
terahertz (THz) sources operating at room temperature. In this paper, sub-THz and THz …

The waiting time distribution w (τ), ie the probability for a delay τ between two subsequent
transition ('jumps') of particles, is a statistical tool in (quantum) transport. Using generalized …

A theoretical framework for studying signal and noise in multiple-stage interband infrared
photovoltaic devices is presented. The theory flows from a general picture of electrons …

We compute the zero-frequency current noise numerically and in several limits analytically
for the Coulomb-blockade problem consisting of two tunnel junctions connected in series. At …

We show that shot noise in a resonant-tunneling diode biased in the negative differential
resistance regions of the I− V characteristic is enhanced with respect to “full” shot noise. We …

An on-chip detection scheme for high frequency signals is used to detect noise generated by
a quantum dot formed in a single wall carbon nanotube. The noise detection is based on …
