Figure Lengend Snippet: AES intensities for Ta NNN (green), C KLL (yellow), O KLL (blue), and Fe LMM (red) measured as peak-to-peak height within the differentiated AES data during five individual deposition experiments. In each experiment and for each element, the leftmost bar represents the AES data recorded after sputter cleaning of the Ta substrate. The other two bars represent data recorded after each of two subsequent deposition steps (deposits 1 and 2). EBID steps were performed with the substrate held at room temperature during (a) simultaneous irradiation with electrons (50 eV, 10000 µC/cm 2 ) and leaking of Fe(CO) 5 (5 mTorr), (b) simultaneous irradiation with electrons (50 eV, 10000 µC/cm 2 ) and leaking of Fe(CO) 4 MA (5 mTorr), and (c) simultaneous irradiation with electrons (100 eV, 10000 µC/cm 2 ) and leaking of Fe(CO) 4 MA (5 mTorr). For cryo-EBID steps with (d) Fe(CO) 5 and (e) Fe(CO) 4 MA, the precursors (5 mTorr) were condensed onto the Ta substrate cooled to 100 K and irradiated with electrons (50 eV, 10000 µC/cm 2 ) at that temperature. Each deposition step was followed by a TDS run. In each case, AES data were acquired when the substrate had returned to room temperature. All data represent the average of two individual experiments (see also , Tables S1 and S2).
