Abstract

We have measured shot noise in single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with good contacts at 4.2 K at low frequencies (f=600850f=600 - 850 MHz). We find a strong modulation of shot noise over the Fabry-Perot pattern; in terms of differential Fano factor the variation ranges over 0.4 - 1.2. The shot noise variation, in combination with differential conductance, is analyzed using two (spin-degenerate) modes with different, energy-dependent transmission coefficients. No power law dependence of shot noise, as expected for Luttinger liquids, was found in our measurements.
