(a) Noise spectrum to different orders in the interaction (, solid; , dashed; , dotted lines) for a contact with . The inset shows a zoom of the noise spectrum at . (b),(c) Integrated and emission noise and Fano factors at vs conductance and transmission, respectively. The dash-dotted lines in (c) show the indicated analytic functions. (d) Integrated emission yield vs conductance at . The circles show the experimental yield from Ref. [6]. In (c),(d), the Fano factors and yields have been normalized to unity at their maximum value (the Fano factors have been normalized with the maximum). Parameters: , , , .
(a) Emission spectrum vs applied voltage for a contact with . (b) Emission spectrum vs conductance at . The plots show the emission rate in units of on a logarithmic scale. Parameters: , , , .
