Phys. Rev. B 80, 235321 (2009) [7 pages]Three-level mixing and dark states in transport through quantum dotsReceived 27 August 2009; revised 26 October 2009; published 16 December 2009 We consider theoretically the transport through the double quantum dot structure of the recent experiment of Payette et al. [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 026808 (2009)] and calculate stationary current and shot noise. Three-level mixing gives rise to a pronounced current-suppression effect, the character of which changes markedly with bias direction. We discuss these results in connection with the dark states of coherent population trapping in quantum dots. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
