21. The quasiparticle measurements were taken in an electrically-unshielded environment. The relatively small Josephson current of about 1 μA of junction [110] was fully suppressed by the unscreened environmental electronic noise and therefore was not visible in the quasiparticle data even at B=0 [see Fig. 1].
