Résumé
La structure observée dans le signal de fond de d2J/dV2 est caractéristique des contacts à pointe métalliques. Elle implique la présence d'un processus à deux phonons. On explique ainsi indirectement la forme du signal de fond.


Abstract
Structure has been observed in the background signal of d2J/dV2 characteristics of metal point contacts, implying double-phonon backflow-processes. An explanation of the background signal follows indirectly from this observation.
