16. i)-1. The contribution of Q from He has been measured to be 1035 by means of pumping the gas, which left the temperature stable for a short moment.
17. g, and the peak heights are different). Another explanation is that the model that was used is too simple to quantitatively capture the physics (33, 34).
18. g has been observed in a second device. The Coulomb-blockade oscillations of G are, however, less regular than the ones presented here, and so the nanotube probably consists of a series of quantum dots (35).
