18. It would have made little sense to go through the effort of making the thicknesses of the two samples identical. The surface area of the edges was not insignificant compared to the surface area of the faces for the EXAFS sample, so a simple 1-D diffusion model could not be applied. We could have compensated for this effect; however there is no guarantee that Fickian diffusion would apply.
19. For the zinc-oxygen bond, a bond distance of 1.95-1.98 Å is typical of 4-fold coordination, while a bond distance of 2.00-2.03 Å is typical of 5-fold coordination, while a bond distance of 2.06-2.12 Å is typical of 6-fold coordination.
