Time evolution of near membrane layers

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

The near membrane layer is defined as a region where the concentration of the substance transported across the membrane drops kk times. The time evolution of such a layer is studied experimentally by means of the laser interferometric method. It is shown that within the experimental errors the thickness of the near membrane layer grows in time as ata \sqrt t with the coefficient aa being independent of the initial concentration and the membrane permeability. Time evolution of the near membrane layers is also analyzed within the theoretical approach earlier developed by one of us. The regularities found experimentally fully agree with the theoretical expectations.
