S.1 Effect of strain on Rietveld refinements
The Rietveld refinements may overestimate the metallic Ru fraction. For
the ruthenium-rich samples, especially pure ruthenium, well described peak
shapes in the refinements were not obtained. A super-Lorentzian contribu-
tion to the peaks was seen which could not be included in the fit. There
