Electron transport through the electromechanical quantum dots devices

In the nanometer structure, the island with discrete energy spectrum should be considered. The transport characteristics of an electromechanical quantum dots device at zero temperature are investigated by using Monte Carlo method. An indirect and effective method is applied to estimate the trend of the current curves, by analyzing the average electrostatic forces. The current–voltage curves show the Coulomb blockade phenomena, which is the result of the interaction between discrete levels and the island vibration.
