XRD -2 scan of as-deposited and annealed s-Fe foils. Due to the preferred (110) orientation before and after annealing, only the corresponding reflection is visible. No peak shift due to stress relaxation is noticeable. Also the possible -Fe (200) reflection and -Fe (211) reflection are indicated by vertical dash lines.
