Abstract: | This paper is devoted to study of the classical-to-quantum crossover of the shot noise in chaotic systems. This crossover is determined by the ratio of the particle dwell time in the system, tau(d), to the characteristic time for diffraction t(E) approximately lambda(-1)|lnh, where lambda is the Lyapunov exponent. The shot noise vanishes when t(E)>tau(d), while it reaches a universal value in the opposite limit. Thus, the Lyapunov exponent of chaotic mesoscopic systems may be found by shot noise measurements. |
