Fluctuations in resistivity with an approximately 1 f spectrum are found in most conducting
materials. Some of the detailed mechanisms, which turn out to be quite diverse, are explored …

Most of our understanding of the Earth's interior has been derived from measurements from
global seismic networks, although no network has ever been truly “global” because some …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses several composites or granular or porous
materials that display inhomogeneity on a macroscopic scale. In such materials, there are …

This paper reviews and compares predictions of the Dutta-Horn model of low-frequency
excess (1/f) noise with experimental results for thin metal films, MOS transistors, and …

An ac technique is described for measuring low‐frequency resistance fluctuation spectra
with improved sensitivity over dc methods achieved by avoiding preamplifier 1/f noise. The …

40 years of research on low-frequency (LF) noise and random-telegraph noise (RTN) in
metallic and semiconducting nanowires (NWs) demonstrate the importance of defects and …

As quantum technologies develop, a specific class of electrically conducting materials is
rapidly gaining interest because they not only form the core quantum‐enabled elements in …

Electrical 1/f noise is measured in thin films of CdSe, CdSe/CdS, ZnO, HgTe quantum dots
and Au nanocrystals. The 1/f noise, normalized per nanoparticle, shows no systematic …

Two-level resistance fluctuations have been observed in clean metallic constrictions of sizes
40-8000 nm 3. At low temperatures the measured values for the activation energies, attempt …

Electron scattering calculations by Martin are used to predict the magnitude of resistivity
fluctuations in metal films arising from the fluctuating interference of electrons in the local …
