摘要
Johnson and shot noises are usually considered as independent in intersubband detectors. In this paper, we discuss some simple ideas showing that they are actually the equilibrium and far from equilibrium limits of a single phenomenon. We present an intuitive framework to consistently understand and model these noises in unipolar detectors, in order to enlarge the toolbox of quantum designers. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
