X-ray beams must pass. As a result, the reflective data
obtained when a reflection geometry is used requires
deconvolution or subtraction of the interference that
occurs from the air/membrane and membrane/solution
interfaces. In addition, the nature of those additional
interfaces also may vary making it even more difficult
to correctly interpret the data received.
Other factors also tend to make it more difficult
to correctly interpret data obtained when using
10 reflection geometry. The current distribution over the
working electrode surface in an electrochemical cell may
be nonuniform due to the geometric arrangement of the
electrodes and the large ohmic resistance in the
electrolyte gap. The electrolyte gap may be expanded by
inflating the membrane or withdrawing the electrode
assembly during electrochemical manipulations. Yet, the
electrolyte gap is constricted during the X-ray
measurements so that meaningful data may not be
obtained. In addition, absorption corrections must be
20 made when using reflection geometry due to the change at
small angles in the path length over which X-ray beams
travel. Moreover, there is a tendency for the diffuse
background to rise rapidly at small scattering angles in
the reflection geometry. Therefore, the total signal is
reduced by absorption but the diffuse background from
