摘要
We studied by ab initio molecular dynamics the modifications induced on fullerite by irradiation with ultrashort, very intense laser pulses. We identified the threshold for the nonthermal cage opening of the C-60 molecules that is the analog of the laser-induced nonthermal melting observed in semiconductors and graphite. The new phase formed by the nonthermal coalescence of the C-60 molecules is fluidlike and mainly formed by small chains of twofold-coordinated atoms. An estimate of the threshold laser fluence for the nonthermal transformation is given.
