Comment on ``Anomalous crossover between thermal and shot noise in macroscopic diffusive conductors''

Abstract

Shot noise is not normally evident in bulk solid-state conductors, since it is strongly attenuated by inelastic collisions. The ``anomalous'' emergence of macroscopic shot noise is discussed in G. Gomila and L. Reggiani, Phys. Rev. B 62, 8068 (2000). We remark on the consistency of this linear diffusive model at the large voltages and currents needed to see the effect.
