  abstract = {{I}nfrared femtosecond laser induced damage has been studied in order to determine, with analytical protocols, the processes involved in laser ablation in this regime. {T}ransmission {E}lectron {M}icroscopy ({TEM}) coupled with {F}ocused {I}on {B}eam ({FIB}) milled cross-sections of natural ablated monazite were used. {C}raters were formed using {N} = 1 and 3 shots, {E}(0) = 0.1 and 0.8 m{J} per pulse and tau = 60 fs. {O}bservations revealed that laser settings induce little changes in the nature and size of damaged structures. {T}he crater bottom forms a similar to 0.5 mm layer composed of melted and recrystallized monazite grains, and spherical similar to 10 nm voids. {T}he underlying sample shows lattice distortions, progressively attenuated with depth, typical of mechanical shocks (thermoelastic relaxation and plasma recoil pressure). {N}o chemical difference appears between these two domains, excluding preferential vaporization and thus laser induced chemical fractionation. {C}orrelations with existing molecular dynamics ({MD}) simulations indicate that the deep distorted lattice probably undergoes spallation whereas the upper layer rather goes through homogeneous nucleation. {N}evertheless, these processes are not pushed forward enough to induce matter removal in the present conditions. {I}n consequence, photomechanical fragmentation and vaporization, requiring higher energy density states, would rather be the main ablation mechanisms. {T}his hypothesis was supported by an additional study focused on the laser produced aerosols. {F}urther links to {LA}-{ICP}-{MS} measurements can then be developed.},
