The mean magnitude (▲) and phase (•) from the experimental EIS measurements [9] with the error bars indicating one standard deviation. The lines are the predicted counterparts from the approximate semi-analytical solution, where (–) represent a thickness of 14 μm SC and (- -) denotes a thickness of either 11 or 17 μm. These values for the thickness of SC correspond to the mean and ± one standard deviation.
