Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Crater Formation Induced by Laser Ablation on the Surface of α-Fe Substrate

In this study, we employed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate ablation induced by the application of pulsed laser irradiation to a thin α-Fe substrate. We observed several mechanisms underlying the removal of material, including ultrafast melting, cluster ejection, and thermal vapori...
