Yes / Osmium nanocrystals can be fabricated by electron (3–50 nm, formed by atom migration), 785–815 nm laser (20–50 nm, in micelle islands), and microwave (ca. 1 nm in arrays, >100 mg scale) irradiation of a polymer-encapsulated OsII carborane; microfocus X-ray absorption studies at the Os LIII-edge show differences between the three preparation methods, suggesting that the electron-beam irradiated materials have a significant support interaction and/or surface oxidation, while the laser and microwave samples are more like metallic osmium. / Royal Society (University Research Fellowship No. UF150295 to NPEB), the Leverhulme Trust (Early Career Fellowship No. ECF-2013-414 to NPEB), the ERC (Grant No. 247450 to PJS), EPSRC (Grant No. EP/F034210/1 to PJS and EP/ J007153/1 to VGS), Diamond Light Source (Beam-time grant number SP11314).
