Abstract

We studied transport properties through a noninteracting quantum dots array with a side quantum dot employing the equation of motion method and Green function technique. The linear conductance has been calculated numerically. It is shown that an antiresonance always pinned at the energy level of side quantum dot. The conductance develops Fano line shape when the side quantum dot level is not aligned with that of the quantum dots in the array due to quantum interference through different channels.
