Abstract

Correlation functions of the current and the noise power for a redox-group-containing electrochemical tunnel contact are calculated under the assumption on a shot character of the electron tunneling. Weak and strong interaction between the redox group and electrodes is considered. Overvoltage dependence of the Fano factor at different bias-potentials is found. The conditions of passing of the calculated dependences into the Schottky law are formulated.
