Abstract
The temperature dependence of 1/f noise in a series of polycrystalline, bamboo-structured, or single-crystal aluminum lines of similar geometry and purity has been investigated by means of a highly sensitive noise spectrometer. The 1/f noise in the polycrystalline samples is significantly higher than in the single-crystal and bamboo-structured specimens. The high noise level in the polycrystals is attributed to thermally activated motion of atoms in grain boundaries. In the bamboo-structured and the single-crystal lines the 1/f noise shows a maximum at about 340 K with corresponding activation energies of about 0.8 eV. It is argued that the process responsible for these fluctuations is thermally activated migration of atoms along dislocations.
