22. The temperature modulation on the sample used in our measurement was (Formula presented) at room temperature and reached by several steps to 0.5 K at (Formula presented) The sensed temperature accumulation is about half of the modulation amplitude because of the very low duty cycle (Formula presented) of the heating power. This temperature accumulation has already been corrected in the data displayed, though it is almost insignificant to the (Formula presented) behavior even at the lowest temperature.

24. Including full metallic armchair tubes and nearly metallic chiral tubes. The latter have a curvature-induced small gap. For tubes of diameter (Formula presented) (like ours), the gap is around (Formula presented) which is negligible compared to the thermal energy in our experiment.
