Laser induced non-thermal deposition of ultrathin graphite

Abstract: We present a laser induced ablation process to fabricate ultrathin graphitic flakes. By varying the fluence of the ablating pulsed fs-laser radiation, we identify distinct values for "thermal" evaporation and so-called "non-thermal" ablation of graphitic flakes. The presence of the non-thermal ablation is a direct consequence of the strong asymmetry of the bonding strength in normal and in-plane direction in layered materials, such as graphite. The experimentally extracted non-thermal ablation threshold for gr… Show more

“…Eq.3) for the different ablative damage spot radii r and laser pulse energies E (figure 1c) provides the ablation thresholds for the SWCNT and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples, where the HOPG one was used as a well-known reference sample. The measured thresholds for SWCNT and graphite were 50 and 360 mJ/cm 2 , respectively, with the latter threshold in a good agreement with the previously reported values[20][21][22]. However in the study by Chae et al the SWCNT were not damaged by nanosecond pulse with fluence 590 mJ/cm 2 that is one order larger compared to our results.…”
