A Monte Carlo model was used to simulate the grain growth during a laser ablation. The effect of temperature distribution on the grain growth was successfully elucidated. In particular, it was observed that the grain size was larger in the middle than at the edges of the system and the evolution process of coarse grains was detected. The grain growth trend depends on temperature distribution.
