Laser pulse duration dictates diamond graphitization pathways. Nanosecond pulses cause vertical transition, while femtosecond pulses enable layer-by-layer surface graphitization, explaining experimental results.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Science
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Diamond (111) surface is a critical substrate in various applications.
  • Laser-induced transformations of diamond are of significant scientific interest.
  • Understanding graphitization mechanisms is key to controlling material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the atomistic mechanisms of laser-induced graphitization on diamond (111).
  • To elucidate the influence of laser pulse duration on graphitization pathways.
  • To provide a theoretical explanation for experimental observations.

Main Methods:

  • Atomistic simulations were employed to model the laser-matter interaction.
  • Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the diamond to graphite transition.

  • The effect of different laser pulse durations (nanosecond vs. femtosecond) was analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • The diamond to graphite transition follows distinct pathways based on laser pulse length.
    • Nanosecond or longer pulses lead to vertical graphitization and diamond-graphite interfaces.
    • Femtosecond pulses (0.2-0.5 ps) result in layer-by-layer surface graphitization and clean diamond surfaces post-ablation.

    Conclusions:

    • Laser pulse duration is a critical parameter controlling graphitization mechanisms on diamond (111).
    • The study provides an atomistic explanation for experimentally observed differences in laser-induced graphitization.
    • This work aids in understanding and controlling laser-surface interactions for material modification.
