Electronic Noise and Fluctuations in Solids [Paperback]

Comprehensive, graduate-level text devoted to the physics of electronic fluctuations (noise) in solids.This book is devoted to the physics of electronic fluctuations (noise) in solids and covers almost all important examples of this phenomenon. It is comprehensive, intelligible and well illustrated. Emphasis is given to the main concepts, to physical mechanisms of fluctuations, and to conclusions on the nature and magnitude of noise. This book will be useful to graduate students and researchers in physics and electronic engineering, and those researching noise phenomena and highly sensitive electronic devices, for example radiation detectors, electronic devices for low-noise amplifiers and quantum magnetometers (SQUIDS).This book is devoted to the physics of electronic fluctuations (noise) in solids and covers almost all important examples of this phenomenon.

The author emphasizes many fundamental experiments that have become classics: physical mechanisms of fluctuations, and the nature and magnitude of noise. He also includes the most comprehensive and complete review of flicker (1/f) noise in the literature. It will be useful to graduate students and researchers in physics and electronic engineering, and especially those carrying out research in the fields of noise phenomena and highly sensitive electronic devices--detectors, electronic devices for low-noise amplifiers, and quantum magnetometers (SQUIDS).Preface;lÓ
