Study of 1/f Noise in Solids.
Abstract
This progress report is divided into four main parts. In Part A we begin with some introductory remarks on 1/f noise and the impact of the contributions performed during the present grant period. Next we give a survey of 1/f noise theory as it stands today, together with the experimental evidence for the various models. In Part B the experimental work performed under the grant is described. This entails the work on gold films, transistor noise source identification, alpha-particle counting experiments, and noise in n(+)n n(+) and n(+)pn(+) near-ballistic diodes. The noise in these structures is very low, indicating definitely that mobility fluctuation are at the origin of 1/f noise. In Part C we describe various theoretical contributions of work performed under the grant. In particular, the Allan variance transform theorem throws a new light on the existence of spectra of the form 1/f alpha, -1< alpha <3. (Author)
