Descrição

Shot noise suppression below 1/2 of the full Poisson value in double barrier resonant diodes is confirmed to be a signature of coherent rather than sequential tunnelling transport. We reply to the arguments of the previous comment which dispute the above claim. We anticipate the development of a rigorous theory that improves previous approaches without contradicting the essential findings we recently reported (Aleshkin et al 2003 Semicond. Sci. Technol. 18 L35).
