Abstract

The temperature dependence of Coulomb blockade peaks of a one dimensional quantum dot is calculated. The Coulomb interaction is treated microscopically using the Luttinger liquid model. The electron interaction is assumed to be non-homogeneous with a maximum strength near the quantum dot. The conductance peaks show non-analytic power law behaviour induced by the interaction. It is shown that there is a crossover in the power law which is related to the inhomogeneity of the interaction.
