Abstract

The Johnson-Nyquist noise in narrow wires having a transverse size smaller than the screening length is shown to be white up to the frequency D/L2D/L^2 and to decay at higher frequencies as ω1/2\omega^{-{1/2}}. In two-dimensional films having a thickness smaller than the screening length, the Johnson-Nyquist noise is predicted to be frequency independent up to the frequency σ2D/L\sigma_{2D}/L and to have a {\it universal} 1/ω1/\omega spectrum at higher frequencies. These results are contrasted with the conventional noise spectra in neutral and three-dimensional charged liquids.
