Dear Matt,

According to the beamline scientist, it was a Mn metal foil (bcc shown at the 
supplier's website).

Best regards,
Yang

How was your sample Mn metal prepared?   Do you have verification that it is 
metallic?

When you say "from metal reference foils measured at the beamline.", I wonder 
if that might be the same kind of

"reference foil set" in the wooden jewelry box that we have at our beamline. 
Most of these are very good, while some (Pb) degrade over time.  Ours has one 
labeled "Mn" which is obviously a black powder, probably sintered.  I've never 
tried to analyze that as BCC Mn and assumed it was stable-ish, but not 
metallic.   But maybe someone else has tried that.
