Abstract

Further investigations indicate that varying dielectric constants (ranging from 3.9 to 30) while maintaining a constant tube diameter of 1.95575 nm yields a 13.08% reduction in write delay, a 12.13% decrease in read delay, a 2.16% increase in power consumption, and an 11.20% drop in thepower delay product (PDP) value.
