Abstract

A theory of tunneling through a quantum dot is presented which enables us to study combined effects of Coulomb blockade and discrete energy spectrum of the dot. The expression of tunneling current is derived from the Keldysh Green's function method, and is shown to automatically satisfy the conservation at DC current of both junctions.
