$\mathrm{Os}{\mathrm{B}}_{2}$ crystallizes in an orthorhombic structure $(Pmmn)$ which contains alternate boron and osmium layers stacked along the $c$ axis. The boron layers consist of puckered hexagons as opposed to the flat graphite-like boron layers in $\mathrm{Mg}{\mathrm{B}}_{2}$. $\mathrm{Os}{\mathrm{B}}_{2}$ is reported to become superconducting below $2.1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. We report results of the dynamic …
