25. A third and trivial choice has two spots 180° from each other on the ring; this corresponds simply to a hexagonally ordered cylinder phase with the cylinder axis perpendicular to the layer normal of the original L phase.
26. The predicted wide angular spread of the in-plane scattering peaks is consistent with the experimental data in refs 4 and 11. However, in another paper (Hamley, I. W.; Gehlsen, M. D.; Khandpur, A.K.; Koppi, K. A.; Rosedale, J. H.; Schulz, M. F.; Bates, F. S.; Almdal, K.; Mortensen, K. J. Phys. II Fr. 1994, 4, 2161) a narrower angular spread for the six peaks was observed. These sharper peaks are probably due to deviation from the weak aggregation regime. Such deviation would enhance the secondary Bragg peaks and suppress the anisotropic fluctuations.
