Abstract

The conductance in an extended multiband Hubbard model describing linear arrays of up to ten quantum dots is calculated via a Lanczos technique. A pronounced suppression of certain resonant conductance peaks in an applied magnetic field due to a density-dependent spin-polarization transition is predicted to be a clear signature of a coherent ``molecular'' wavefunction in the array. A many-body enhancement of localization is predicted to give rise to a giant magnetoconductance effect in systems with magnetic scattering.
