Abstract
Voltage fluctuations of Platinum wires hosted by silicon nitride beams were investigated. We considered four variants of the wires: three with an adhesion layer and one with no adhesion layer. We found that the presence of an adhesion layer changes the nature of the power spectrum which is for wires with no adhesion layers and for wires with an adhesion layer. We attribute the value of the exponent to the long range diffusion of hydrogen originating from adhesion layers that undergo a migration through the Pt wires.
