Abstract
We investigate the electronic transport properties of coupled quantum dots, controlled by local gates on carbon nanotubes. The inter-dot coupling can be tuned from weak to strong by changing gate voltages, and oscillates in short and long period with the distance between two gates. We introduce a one-dimensional scattering model to describe the mechanism of the electron transport through the carbon nanotube quantum dots. We show that pi and PI* channels contribute differently to the inter-dot coupling and the transport phase plays a key role in the oscillations of the coupling.
