10. This expression was inferred from P. M. Morse and H. Feshbach, Methods of Theoretical Physics (McGraw-Hill, New York, 1953), p. 11. The NT is considered as a metallic cylinder, which is a good approximation as long as the density of states at the Fermi level is high. Similar expressions were used to estimate Coulomb-blockade energies of NTs.

15. Only in freely suspended MWNTs without NT/substrate interaction has evidence for ballistic room-temperature transport been found [S. Frank, P. Poncharal, Z. L. Wang, and W. A. de Heer, Science 280, 1744 (1998)].
16. G curve was found to depend on the sweep direction, but the voltage range over which the drop occurs showed no hysteresis.
