  We investigate single-electron transport through quantum dots with negative
charging energy induced by a polaronic energy shift. For weak dot-lead tunnel
couplings, we demonstrate a bipolaronic blockade effect at low biases which
suppresses the oscillating linear conductance, while the conductance resonances
under large biases are enhanced. Novel conductance plateau develops when the
coupling asymmetry is introduced, with its height and width tuned by the
coupling strength and external magnetic field. It is further shown that the
amplitude ratio of magnetic-split conductance peaks changes from 3 to 1for
increasing coupling asymmetry. Though we demonstrate all these transport
phenomena in the low-order single-electron tunneling regime, they are already
strikingly different from the usual Coulomb blockade physics and are easy to
observe experimentally.
