Sample Evaporation method(1) Laser power Atmosphere Pressure Product(2)
(Wcm) (mbar)

#1 laser ablation (for HACs) 2.8  ×  10 He:H (90:10) 4.5 PAH+HAC
laser-induced pyrolysis (for PAHs) 480 Ar:CH (1500:40) 750

#2 laser ablation 2.8  ×  1010 He:H (90:10) 4.5 HAC
#3 (3) HAC (703 K)

#4 laser-induced pyrolysis 480 Ar:CH(1500:40) 750 PAH

Notes. For the laser ablation method, the second harmonic of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser (at 532 nm) was used. Samples were produced in a deposition chamber at (5 ± 3) × 10-6 Torr (Jäger et al. 2008; Gadallah et al. 2011). For the laser-induced pyrolysis method, a high-power continuous-wave (cw) CO2 laser was used with 60 W radiation power at a wavelength of 10.6 μm (Jäger et al. 2006, 2009; Steglich et al. 2010, 2012). Samples were deposited on CaF substrates. Sample #3 was heated to 703 K.
