ABSTRACT:
A system for phonon spectroscopy for attaining a phonon spectrum of a sample of a material. Current may be injected into the material to result in electrical noise in the material. The electrical noise may be processed to result in information revealing a phonon spectrum of the material. The phonon spectrum may be useful for analyzing and monitoring various features of the material. Other information about the material may be obtained from the electrical noise.
