The characteristics of electrical noise provide various information about an electronic system. In ballistic 1D quantum devices excess noise was already found to be related to an electron’s transmission probability [1]. In this work, cross-correlated noise measurements are performed in etched AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs based ballistic quasi 1D quantum rings at a bath temperature of Tbath=4.2 K in equilibrium. The measured white noise exceeds the thermal noise expected from the measured electron temperature Te and the electrical resistance R of the devices. This excess noise decreases as Tbath increases and is not observable anymore at Tbath≥ 12 K. Furthermore, a reduction of the excess noise is observed when one arm of a quantum ring becomes electrically non-conducting. This excess noise is not observed in 1D-constrictions that share a comparable length and width with the quantum rings. The results suggest that the excess noise is a result of electron interference in the quantum ring. [1] Y. M. Blanter et al., Phys. Rep. 336, 1 (2000).
