Beam me up: A novel two-step process allows iron nanostructures to be generated locally on SiOx/Si at 300 K. The surface is first locally activated by an electron beam. Then the activated structures are exposed to [Fe(CO)5], which decomposes and grows autocatalytically to give pure Fe nanocrystals.
