Unusual iron packing in Feₓ{Ru}y$ superlattices with x varying from 4 to 14 {} and y from 4 to 78 {} was observed by extended x-ray-absorption fine structure and x-ray-absorption near-edge-structure (XANES) analysis. The XANES profile and the first peak of the Fourier transform of the spectrum show a large anisotropy when the polarization of the x-ray synchrotron-emitted beam is in the basal plane of the superlattices or perpendicular to it. The local nature of this result suggests refinement of the structure already deduced by reflection high-energy electron diffraction and x-ray diffraction. The hexagonal packing of iron herein proposed agrees with the structural data found in the literature.
