B 104, 2794 (2000); note that since the value for the (8, 0), CNT is not given explicitly, we have determined its band gap from the STS plot by measuring the distance between the first VHS where the STS is negligible, so that a gap can be clearly identified. The distance between the largely broadenend peaks is about 1.1 eV.
