26. Although the existence of interference in small devices cannot be ruled out, we emphasize that Coulomb charging alone is sufficient to explain all data observed in small devices. A recent preprint [(P. V. Lin, F. E. Camino, and V. J. Goldman, arXiv:0902.0811 (unpublished)] interprets magneto-oscillations in a small dot in terms of an interfering AB path quantized to enclose an integer N. However, as will be seen in Fig. 4, gate-voltage periods can change continuously by 1 order of magnitude in the AB regime, suggesting that N is not quantized in the AB regime.
