Abstract
We investigate the shot noise generated by particle emission from a mesoscopic capacitor into an edge state coupled to another edge state at a quantum point contact (QPC). For a capacitor subject to a periodic voltage the resulting shot noise is proportional to the number of particles (both electrons and holes) emitted during a period. The shot noise is proportional to the driving frequency, however it is independent of the applied voltage. If two capacitors are coupled to a QPC at different sides then the resulting shot noise is maximally the sum of noises produced by each of the capacitors. However, the noise is suppressed if particles of the same kind are emitted simultaneously.Year: 2008 PMID: 18999699 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.166802
