We observed that Ho+ abundance associated with carbon cage opening dominates at an intensity of 1.1 x 10(14) W/cm(2). 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 10(14) W/cm(2).
