The percent alignment to within ±30 degrees of the direction perpendicular to the zone velocity for samples with perpendicular (vertical) template stripes. The zone width is w zone  = 80 \(\tilde{l}\). Perpendicular template stripes provide the greatest shift in zone velocities for defect-free lamellae morphologies. For comparison, the horizontal line shows average alignment of isothermally annealed samples with templating at L || = 5L 0 with annealing times equivalent to lowest velocity annealing times. Inset: template alignment (blue) is perpendicular to zone velocity (red).
