Laser pulses can effectively induce local structural changes and modify the physical properties of carbon allotropes. So far, only graphitization has been demonstrated using low laser energies (≤1 J/cm2). The novelty of this paper is a result of laser-induced amorphization of a highly anisotropic ca...
