Feedback of the electromagnetic environment on current and voltage fluctuations out of equilibrium
arXiv:cond-mat/0306375 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.69.035336
Abstract
A theory is presented for low-frequency current and voltage correlators of a mesoscopic conductor embedded in a macroscopic electromagnetic environment. This Keldysh field theory evaluated at its saddle-point provides the microscopic justification for our earlier phenomenological calculation (using the cascaded Langevin approach). The nonlinear feedback from the environment mixes correlators of different orders, which explains the unexpected temperature dependence of the third moment of tunneling noise observed in a recent experiment. At non-zero temperature, current and voltage correlators of order three and higher are no longer linearly related. We show that a Hall bar measures voltage correlators in the longitudinal voltage and current correlators in the Hall voltage. We go beyond the saddle-point approximation to consider the environmental Coulomb blockade. We derive that the leading order Coulomb blockade correction to the n-th cumulant of current fluctuations is proportional to the voltage derivative of the (n+1)-th cumulant, generalizing to any n the earlier results for n=1,2.
