Abstract

Using the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism, the authors investigate the effect of the electron-phonon interaction on the current and shot noise in one dimensional resonant tunneling structures. Besides the well-known current behavior, they particularly show that the shot noise may be enhanced over the Poissonian value due to the phonon-assisted tunneling effect. The observed super-Poissonian noise is then interpreted as a result of the competition between the coherent and sequential current components.
