Professor Balandin’s Materials Science Research Lecture at Caltech Noise Spectroscopy – What Can Electronic Noise Tell Us about the Materials?
In 2025, we will mark the 100th anniversary of J.B. Johnson's accidental discovery of 1/f noise in experiments designed to test Schottky's theory of shot noise in vacuum tubes (f is frequency). Since this first observation, the fluctuation processes, with the spectra...
