As a result, the conditions created by different beam shapes might favor the formation of non-spherical NPs, nanoporous alloys, and hierarchical nanostructures. This is important to extend the application areas

Synthesizing anisotropic and hierarchical nanostructures of cobalt is an effective strategy for tuning its electronic, magnetic and crystal properties. The interest in these nanostructures lies in comprehending the physical and
