9. This band gap can be due to different perturbations, such as curvature or strain. The measured value of the band gap is ∼30 meV. [10] The fabrication is similar to that reported in P. Jarillo-Herrero et al., Nature (London) 429, 389 (2004).

24. orb is smaller than expected from the nanotube diameter (2.7 nm) [7] (see also [24]).
25. orb, even for consecutive shells. This might be due to defects, which could distort the band structure enough to render the simple picture in Fig. 1(a) invalid.
