• nanostructures produced by FEBID are of interest for diverse applications including magnetic data storage devices [4][5][6], tips for magnetic force microscopy [4][7], or sensors [4][8]. The same applies to cobalt nanostructures, which can be prepared with high purity and shape fidelity using, in particular, the

Therefore, it is important to develop synthesis methods that yield cobalt nanostructures with well-controlled shape and size. This formulates the primary objective of the
