According to reference [12], when the contact coupling is strong, namely, the parameter α being large, the model system behaves as electron resonator, but when the contact coupling is very weak (the parameter α being small), the model system behaves like a quantum dot. Because we consider the behavior of electron resonator, we should choose a larger α. We have tested the effect of the parameter α value on the conductance oscillations, and have chosen α = 0.8 in our calculation
