Atomic understanding of structural deformations upon ablation of graphene

Abstract We investigate the atomic rearrangement in graphene under femtosecond pulse illumination with reactive molecular dynamics simulations and compare with ultra‐fast laser ablation experiments. To model the impact of the laser pulse irradiation, heat is locally applied to a selected area of the...

description Abstract We investigate the atomic rearrangement in graphene under femtosecond pulse illumination with reactive molecular dynamics simulations and compare with ultra‐fast laser ablation experiments.

Furthermore, we apply a machine learning approach to extrapolate our simulated data to experimental length scales and reproduce the trends in ablated area as a function of temperature. Our study provides a first step towards understanding the design parameters for graphene nano‐patterning.
