Fig. 5

a Example of the BTK conductance vs. bias at different temperatures for a set of parameters (indicated in the legend) that correspond to the ON state. G0 and G100 are respectively indicated by the dark/light triangles. b G0(T) (dark triangles) and G100(T) (light triangles) calculated in the ON and OFF state using the BTK parameters indicated in the legend. Notice that G0(T) gradually drops below G100(T) as temperature is decreased beyond TC, which is highlighted by the green regions. The departure is more pronounced in the OFF state than in the ON state. The inset shows the ratio ER0/ER100 as deduced from the calculations shown in the main panel. Notice the steady increase below the critical temperature in the OFF state (TC = 70 K), highlighted by the green region.
