Fragmentation of endohedral fullerene in an intense femtosecond near-infrared laser field
Abstract
The fragmentation of gas phase endohedral fullerene, Ho3N@C80, was investigated using femtosecond near-infrared laser pulses with an ion velocity map imaging spectrometer. Here, we observed that Ho+ abundance associated with carbon cage opening dominates at an intensity of 1.1 x 1014 W/cm2. As the intensity increases, the Ho+ yield associated with multifragmentation of the carbon cage exceeds the prominence of Ho+ associated with the gentler carbon cage opening. Moreover, the power law dependence of Ho+ on laser intensity indicates that the transition of the most likely fragmentation mechanisms occurs around 2.0 x 1014 W/cn2.
