Higher cumulants of voltage fluctuations in current-biased diffusive contacts

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

The third and fourth cumulants of voltage in a current-biased diffusive metal contact of resistance RR are calculated for arbitrary temperatures and voltages using the semiclassical cascade approach. The third cumulant equals e2R3I/3e^2R^3I/3 at high temperatures and 4e2R3I/154e^2R^3I/15 at low temperatures, whereas the fourth cumulant equals 2e2R3T/32e^2R^3T/3 at high temperatures and (34/105)e3R4I(34/105)e^3R^4I at low temperatures.
