Abstract
We propose a Hubbard model to illuminate the tunneling effect of electrons in a double quantum dot array connected in the parallel circuit configuration to electrodes. The change in the interdot coupling is shown to dramatically influence the Coulomb blockade properties, consistent with earlier experimental observations. For magnetic double dots, the interdot coupling can be tuned by the external magnetic field, leading to a giant Coulomb blockade magnetoresistance.
