Abstract
Electron tunneling through a coupled quantum-dot dimer under a dc-bias is investigated. We find that a peak in the I-V curve appears at low temperature when two discrete electronic states in the two quantum dots are aligned with each other -- resonance coupling. This leads to a negative differential resistance. The peak height and width depend on the dot-dot coupling. At high temperature, the peak disappears due to thermal smearing effects.
