This model is extended to an arbitrary of number and to a square array of quantum dots. The local potential is computed taking into account the net charge at the quantum dot. Master equations are presented for total current and charge number N considering both the local potential and the local current. Interesting results are reported, namely the Negative Di erential Resistance for serial quantum dots as well as resonant conductance. A paradoxical asymmetric current appears for the parallel case due to the capacitive coupling.8 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Illera Robles, 2011http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Electrònica quànticaTreballs de fi de màsterQuantum electronicsMaster's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
