Shot noise in resonant tunneling through a zero-dimensional state with a complex energy spectrum

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We investigate the noise properties of a GaAs/AlGaAs resonant tunneling structure at bias voltages where the current characteristic is determined by single electron tunneling. We discuss the suppression of the shot noise in the framework of a coupled two-state system. For large bias voltages we observed super-Poissonian shot noise up to values of the Fano factor α10\alpha \approx 10.
