Beam me up : A novel two‐step process allows iron nanostructures to be generated locally on SiO x /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.
