We argue that the nearly 1/3 suppression of shot noise in nondegenerate diffusive contacts recently obtained by Gonzalez et al. (cond-mat/9803372) is due to the specific choice of the energy-independent elastic scattering time.
This is a review of shot noise, the time-dependent fluctuations in the electrical current due to the discreteness of the electron charge, in small conductors. The shot-noise power can be smaller than that of a Poisson process as a result of…
