First, the conical shape of pores in track membranes is the norm rather than an exception to the rule. It is determined by the final ratio of the etching rates of the intact polymer and the membrane material in the track region. Secondly, the concentration of soft X-rays at the output from the conical pores of the sample has been scarcely studied. Calculations are performed for porous membranes made of polyethylene terephthalate at wavelengths of 13.3 and 30.4 nm at normal incidence of radiation on the pore end and at various angles of the pore cone.

It is demonstrated that the surface morphology, thickness, and hydrophilicity of LIG film structures synthesized in either a line-by-line or raster regime differ significantly from one another. The thickness of LIG films synthesized in the raster regime is not uniform over the area, with a variation reaching ±60% of the average value.
