      abstract     = {Progress in the emerging fields of atomic and
                      close-to-atomic scale manufacturing is underpinned by
                      enhanced precision and optimization of laser-controlled
                      nanostructuring. Understanding thin films' crystallographic
                      orientations and microstructure effects becomes crucial for
                      optimizing the laser-metallic thin film interactions;
                      however, these effects remain largely unexplored at the
                      atomic scale. Using a hybrid two-temperature model and
                      molecular dynamics, we simulated ultrafast laser-metal
                      interactions for gold thin films with varying
                      crystallographic orientations and microstructure
                      configurations. Microstructure features, namely grain size,
                      grain topology, and local crystallographic orientation,
                      controlled the rate and extent of lattice disorder evolution
                      and phase transformation, particularly at lower applied
                      fluences. Our simulations provided comprehensive insights
                      encompassing both the nanomechanical and thermodynamic
                      aspects of ultrafast laser-metal interactions at atomic
                      resolution. Microstructure-aware/informed thin film
                      fabrication and targeted defect engineering could improve
                      the precision of nanoscale laser processing and potentially
                      emerge as an energy-efficient optimization strategy.},
