Electrical capacitances of thin lipid films
Based on the considerations of surface charge and surface recombination (or ion binding), the capacitances of the diffused double layer and the polar region are calculated as functions of ionic strength, pH va...

Ion transport through thin lipid films
Currents through thin lipid films were measured versus temperature, applied voltage, pH value, ionic strength and ionic species. All experimental data tend to fit a two-component current theory, that is, the f...
