14. Depending on the coupling of the Sc@ C82 filled carbon nanotubes to the leads, we have observed Coulomb blockade, Kondo and Fano features.

25. Assuming that the charging energies U for the two quantum dots are identical and that the gate capacitance (Cg) of the quantum dots is small as compared to the capacitances of the quantum dots to the source (Cs) and drain (Cd) electrodes, as well as the mutual capacitance (Cm), the relative voltage drop is given by Δ VQD/Vsd ∼ (U- U′)/(U+ U′). From the same model we obtain Cs = Cd ∼4.9 aF, Cm ∼13.3 aF, and Cg ∼0.6 aF.

27. Here we assume that the subband degeneracy is broken, which will generally be the case when atomic defects are present.
