| contents | We consider how the absence of thermalisation affects the classical Coulomb blockade regime in quantum dots. By solving the quantum kinetic equation in the experimentally accessible regime when the dot has two relevant occupation states, we calculate the current-voltage characteristics for arbitrary coupling to the leads. If the couplings are strongly asymmetric, we have found that the Coulomb staircase practically reduces to the first step independent of the charging energy when the latter is larger than the Fermi energy, while the standard thermalised results are recovered in the opposite case. If the couplings are of the same order, the absence of thermalisation has a new, striking signature - a robust additional peak in the differential conductance. |
