13. The mosaic spread as revealed by the bundle peak is superimposed on a constant background of isotropically distributed SWCNT. This unknown quantity hinders a quantitative analysis regarding the quality of the alignment and has a strong influence on the anisotropy of the measured low energy loss function and the C1s absorption edge.
