Nanoelectronics and Nanofabrication
Thermal noise, also known as Johnson-Nyquist noise, is the random electrical noise generated by the thermal agitation of charge carriers in a conductor at equilibrium. This type of noise is significant in electronic devices, especially at the nanoscale, as it can limit the performance and sensitivity of devices due to its unpredictable nature. Understanding thermal noise is essential for optimizing the design and operation of various nanoelectromechanical systems and accurately characterizing nanodevices.
