We discuss resonant tunneling through quantum dot energy levels considering the charging energy of the dot. The hamiltonian of the system is reduced to a form of the Anderson hamiltonian of resonant tunneling. The mean-field approximation is applied and currentvoltage characteristics are evaluated.

We propose a simple quantum structure which exhibits resonant tunneling under one bias and simple tunneling under the opposite one, thus acting as a rectifier. The diode consists of a single laterally-indented barrier. Due to its particular conductionband profile, electrons undergo resonant tunnelin
It is shown that the resonance tunneling through a complex quantum dot with even occupation reveals the hidden dynamical SO(n) symmetry of this dot. This symmetry is manifested in unconventional mechanisms of Kondo resonance formation, where the gate voltage may tune the rank n gradually. In a speci
## Abstract Resonant electronic transport through two coupled non‐interacting single‐level quantum dots attached to ferromagnetic leads with collinear magnetizations is analyzed theoretically. Coupling of the dots to external leads as well as the inter‐dot coupling are assumed to be spin dependent.
