1. The transfer impedance method can be applied to a great many devices.
2. For a nonequilibrium quantum gas there are correlations which exclude the one-electron velocity fluctuation picture, cf.
3. For a Brownian motion particle it was first noted that no Fokker-Planck equation for the position vector r(t/) can be constructed, cf. the articles of Chandrasekhar and Uhlenbeck and Ornstein
4. The generalization to the case of a tensorial mobility is not given by Thornber, but is straightforward.

6. Note that in the present case Λ as well as G are understood as tensors, to be contracted with the vector function on which they operate, i.e., [formula omitted] [formula omitted]

8. Throughout Δ refers to an incremental quantity associated with a small volume [formula omitted] or small line segment [formula omitted] the lower case δ designates fluctuations.
9. More precisely, Eq. (11) is an extension of the result of Shockley and coworkers (Ref. 26) for a three-dimensional configuration.
10. We use lower case symbols for the noise in the frequency domain.
11. Shockley, Copeland, and James (Ref. 26) also define a transfer impedance which relates the terminal voltage of the device to an internal current density.
12. Though for Eq. (7) z is equal to the Green’s function tensor, this is not so if the Langevin description employs variables other than the field, cf.
13. The correspondence with the network has some interesting peculiarities.
14. For single injection diodes it is unlikely that (36) could be valid without (35) being valid also, since we deal with a one-point boundary problem [formula omitted] the other point being immaterial to the field solution.

16. Strictly speaking we could have other functions for the transverse components, though this is unlikely.
