1/f noise in variable range hopping conduction
Abstract
A mechanism of 1/f noise due to traps formed by impurities which have no neighbors with close energies in their vicinity is studied. Such traps slowly exchange electrons with the rest of conducting media. The concentration of traps and proportional to it 1/f noise exponentially grow with decreasing temperature in the variable range hopping regime. This theory provides smooth transition to the nearest neighbor hopping case where it predicts a very weak temperature dependence.
