Comment on "Universality of the 1/3 shot-noise suppression factor in nondegenerate diffusive conductors"

Abstract

We argue that the nearly 1/3 suppression of shot noise in nondegenerate diffusive contacts recently obtained by Gonzalez et al. (cond-mat/9803372) is due to the specific choice of the energy-independent elastic scattering time.
