25. 8 and the relative long (2 μm) NW length in our study. This claim is further supported by the excellent consistency between our data and 1D weak localization theory.

27. g (∼1 V) and only appear at T < 10 K. These oscillations resemble the Fabry-Perot interference patterns observed in the conductance of short channel CNT devices. For example, see: Liang, W.; Bockrath, M.; Bozovic, D.; Hafner, J. H.; Tinkham, M.; Park, H. Nature 2001, 441, 665.
28. g spacing is too large for our relatively long channel (2 μm long) device. These oscillations are more likely due to resonant scattering by localized states in nanowire, similar to a previous study of CNT. For example, see: Kong, J.; Yenilmez, E.; Tombler, T. W.; Kim, W.; Dai, H.; Laughlin, R. B.; Liu, L.; Jayanthi, C. S.; Wu, S. Y. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2001, 87, 106801.
