Abstract

New methods for thermal-equilibrium investigations of atomic vacancies or of dislocation movements in metals require measurements of minute resistance fluctuations. The accuracy of such measurements is limited by thermal noise from the resistor. The present paper proposes a method for analysing resistance fluctuations independent of voltage noise.
