(a) θ − 2θ scans through the MnAs characteristic peaks. The quantity of α and β phase is estimated by calculating the integrated intensity characteristic for each phase and corrected by the corresponding structure factor. (b,c) representation of the reciprocal space around the Bragg peaks characteristic of the MnAs α and β phases (indicated by the red and green arrows respectively) for respectively 12 × 12 μm 2 and 4.5 × 4.5 μm 2 MnAs microstructures. The color scale bar corresponds to the Bragg peaks intensity.
