  A transport methodology to study the electron transport between quantum dots
arrays based in Transfer Hamiltonian approach is presented. The interactions
between the quantum dots and between the quantum dots and the electrodes are
introduced by transition rates and capacitive couplings. The effects of the
local potential are computed within the self-consistent field regime. The model
has been developed and expressed in a matrix form in order to make it
extendable to larger systems. Transport through several quantum dot
configurations have been studied in order to validate the model. Despite the
simplicity of the model, well-known effects are satisfactorily reproduced and
explained. The results qualitatively agree with other results obtained using
more complex theoretical approaches.
