We investigate shot noise for quantum dots whose classical phase space consists of both regular and chaotic regions. The noise is systematically suppressed below the universal value of fully chaotic systems, by an amount which varies with…
Fluctuations pose fundamental limitations in making sensitive measurements, yet at the same time, noise unravels properties that are inaccessible at the level of the averaged signal. In electronic devices, shot noise arises from the…
Shot noise is not normally evident in bulk solid-state conductors, since it is strongly attenuated by inelastic collisions. The ``anomalous'' emergence of macroscopic shot noise is discussed in G. Gomila and L. Reggiani, Phys. Rev. B 62,…

We investigate the shot noise generated by particle emission from a mesoscopic capacitor into an edge state reflected and transmitted at a quantum point contact (QPC). For a capacitor subject to a periodic voltage the resulting shot noise…
Semiclassical methods can now explain many mesoscopic effects (shot-noise, conductance fluctuations, etc) in clean chaotic systems, such as chaotic quantum dots. In the deep classical limit (wavelength much less than system size) the…
We consider universal shot noise in ballistic chaotic cavities from a semiclassical point of view and show that it is due to action correlations within certain groups of classical trajectories. Using quantum graphs as a model system we sum…
We show that in clean chaotic cavities the power of shot noise takes a universal form. Our predictions go beyond previous results from random-matrix theory, in covering the experimentally relevant case of few channels. Following a…

Using the 'drift-diffusion-Langevin' equation we show that, at least in one geometry, finite-frequency shot noise is of the order of the 'full' shot noise $2eI$ provided the sample is either short or long enough, $L > L_0(\omega)$. Here…
