Shot noise as a tool to probe an electron energy distribution

Abstract

We discuss the possibility to employ the shot-noise measurements for the analysis of the energy resolved ballistic currents. Coulomb interactions play an essential role in this technique, since they lead to the shot-noise-suppression level which depends on the details of the energy profile.
