N2 - We report the novel observation of sp3-rich carbon characteristics in iron filled carbon foam by means of Raman spectroscopy (RS), temperature dependent (T-) X-ray diffraction from 300 K to 670 K, Ultraviolet spectroscopy, X-ray-Photoelectron-Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. Additional evidence of such sp3-rich carbon-arrangement is also given by T-RS measurements where a transition from a sp3-rich carbon configuration into a sp2-rich-one is found after laser-irradiation at the temperature of 670 K. This interpretation is further confirmed by T-RS performed in Fe3C-filled carbon nanotubes where no such transitions were found in similar measurement-conditions from 300 K up to 870 K.
