21. Although close to the error in the quantum yield measurement (∼5% for comparisons between samples), the transmission for the 1L2D2L structure may be higher than that of the 3L2D structure. This behavior can result from consideration of the phase terms in describing the electron transmission through the film. See (9-11).
