Direct structure determination of multilayered membrane-type systems which contain fluid layers.

The theory of direct methods of structure analysis in the case of multilayered membrane-type systems which contain fluid layers is described. Diffraction formulas for this kind of analysis are derived. Deconvolution methods are used when the centrosymmetrical unit cells contain wide fluid layers. When the membrane systems contain narrow fluid layers, other direct methods are used. These direct methods involve computing either the Fourier series representations or the sampling theorem expressions.
