Abstract
We investigate the role of charging effects in a voltage-biased quantum wire. Both the finite range of the Coulomb interaction and the long-ranged nature of the Friedel oscillation imply a finite capacitance, leading to a charging energy. While observable Coulomb blockade effects are absent for a single impurity, they are crucial if islands are present. For a double barrier, we give the resonance condition, fully taking into account the charging of the island.
