I know a little about "shot noise". That is noise caused by a current
of discrete charges. Like buckshot falling on a glass surface.
Then there was Prof. Schottky
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_H._Schottky) whose name is now
associated with Schottky diode. According to wikipedia, he discovered
the "Schrott effect". The word "Schrott" (= pellet) has nothing to do
with "Schottky".
So in English, it's shot noise, and the Schottky diode!
