compared with (b) the calculated XRD profile incorporating the effect of orientation and
(c) the corresponding difference profile. (d, e) The calculated XRD profile and difference
profile, respectively, obtained before the incorporation of orientation effects. Features
marked by the asterisk are due to the stainless steel substrate and were excluded for the
