Fig. 4. Comparison between experiment and simulation of the scaling behavior of ion diffusion as a function of interlayer spacing through the layered membrane.
Similar comparison is made between experiment and simulation after a hindrance factor H is introduced in the simulation and is shown as red triangles. The inset shows the determination of the geometrical variables L through a reverse Monte Carlo method. The minimization was performed between Dm,exp (d) and Dm,sim (d, L, δ). The variable L rapidly converges after 10 iterations.
