• turned to X-ray total scattering and pair distribution function (PDF) analyses to investigate the atomic structure of the Os NPs [33]. The pair distribution function is now widely used for nanomaterial characterization, as it allows to obtain atomic structure information from materials showing no long

• techniques discussed below. Nanomaterial characterization Dynamic light scattering (DLS) The diameters of the LUVs were determined by DLS (Malvern 4700 with goniometer and 7132 correlator) with an argon ion laser operating at 488 nm. All the measurements were performed by using a scattering angle of 90° at a
