Review of Modern Physics, vol 53, no 3, 497-516 (July 1981)
Abstract
An astonishing variety of systems show properties that fluctuate
with approximately 1/f-shaped spectral densities. In this review
we deal with selected topics regarding 1/f fluctuations (or noise)
in the resistance of simple condensed matter systems, especially
metals. We find that considerable experimental and conceptual
progress has been made, but specific physical processes mostly
remain to be identified.
