Abstract
We use a recently developed numerical matching procedure to calculate conductances g(12) and scattering wave functions psi for a quantum dot. The dot is formed in a 2D quantum wire by pushing in two hard wall fingers with height h, width d and separation s. Calculations are made for rectangular and capped fingers when d/w=0.1, s/w=0.47 and h/w=0.70, 0.60 and 0.53. We find two resonant tunnelling peaks in g(12) below the transmission threshold at wave numbers which decrease with decreasing h/w. We use contour plots of \psi\(2) to show that this behaviour when h decreases is due to increasing ''spillage'' of \psi\(2) over the tops of the fingers and above the space between them. The higher resonance finally merges with the first continuous region of strong transmission.
