- 15 Feb 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the frequency dependence of shot noise in mesoscopic diffusive contacts is calculated with account taken of long-range Coulomb interaction and external screening, and the high frequency noise tends to the full classical value for long and narrow contacts because of strong screening by the surrounding medium.
