Fluctuations and noise in nanoelectrical and nanomechanical systems

In this thesis we present a study of the fluctuations and noise which occur in a particular nanoelectrical device, the single electron transistor (SET). Electrical transport through the SET occurs through a combination of stochastic, incoherent tunnelling and coherent quantum oscillations, giving r...
