Download or read book Noise and the Solid State written by David A. Bell and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The replacement of thermionic devices by solid-state devices did not affect the fundamentals of thermal noise and shot noise but introduced a new range of applications and some new phenomena which is the subject of this book. Among the latter are generation-recombination noise, the still controversial 1/f noise, noise in avalanche devices and transferred-electron devices. Besides such semiconductor devices, also considered is noise in cryogenic devices, in charge-coupled devices, in ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials and in radiation detectors.
