21. Quantitive discussion on the slope of NDR has to include the competition of EC and EJ together with MAR current of the Josephson junction. See, e.g., E. Vecino, M. R. Buitelaar, A. Martín-Rodero, C. Schönenberger, and A. Levy Yeyati, Solid State Commun. 131, 625 (2004). 10.1016/j.ssc.2004.05.031
22. This value does not include the effect of finite length of the nanotube, which would suppress the maximum I0 a bit. See, e.g., A. V. Galaktionov and A. D. Zaikin, Phys. Rev. B 65, 184507 (2002). 10.1103/PhysRevB.65.184507

24. When NDR exists, we extract ICM from the local current maximum I CMp and minimum I CMn using ICM = (I CMp - I CMn) /2. Around the Kondo resonance peaks without NDR, ICM is obtained using the averaged voltages, V CMp ̄ and V CMn ̄, respectively, of the I CMp and I CMn peak positions at lower ICM, and taking ICM = I (V CMp ̄) -I (V CMn ̄) /2.
