Quantum ring structures can be used to investigate interference effects of electrons as a result of phase-coherent transport. Voltage noise measurements are performed using the cross-correlation technique in an etched quantum ring structure based on Al0.35Ga0.65As/GaAs at temperatures of 4.2 K. In thermal equilibrium the measured two-terminal voltage noise depends on the detail of the contact configuration in these multiply-connected quantum wire ring structures [1,2]. Here, we investigate and discuss all noise contributions in various contact configurations and compare these with the calculated thermal noise according to the Johnson-Nyquist formula SV=4 kB T R, as determined from the four-terminal conductance measurements of the respective contact configuration. Aharonov-Bohm magneto-resistance oscillations observed at 15 mK prove quantum interference in the ring structure.
