Shot-noise is a powerful tool for determining the effective charge of the carriers of mesoscopic systems. This method provides unique information about a broad range of materials such as superconductors and fractional quantum Hall systems [1,2]. We combine scanning tunnelling microscopy with shot-noise spectroscopy in order to get local information with atomic resolution [3]. In a s-wave BCS superconductor, we observe shot-noise doubling inside of the superconducting gap due to Andreev reflection processes [4]. For superconductors with d-wave pairing symmetry, however, things get more complicated, as the nodal quasiparticles change the situation. Here, I will discuss first results of local shot-noise measurements on the unconventional superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+p.
