Tunneling Transport The Line Shape of Conductance Peaks

Tunneling Transport The Line Shape of Conductance Peaks 

The resonant energies of the QD are given by the addition energies, as discussed in the text. In the constant interaction model, the difference between adjacent 

if temperature broadening dominates, the conductance oscillations have the shape of the derivative of the Fermi function ( x cos h (EI2k T)). However, if lifetime broadening dominates, the conductance peaks are of a Lorentzian shape.
