a Raman spectra of the as-received and annealed ISG fibers, and of ISG cooled at 10 K min−1. The inset shows the fit of the bands around 1000 cm−1 and 1400 cm−1. b, c Intensity ratios as a function of cooling rate of the peaks (b) at 1360 cm−1 over the one at 1445 cm−1 and (c) at 970 cm−1 over the one at 1070 cm−1. The error bars were taken as the standard deviation for the Gaussian fitting of the related peaks
