Abstract
A method and system for providing at least one of planarization, densification, and exfoliation of a porous material using ion beams. The method may use an ion beam generator to generate an ion beam, the ion beam having energy above 0.1 MeV. The ion beam generator may irradiate the surface of a porous material with the ion beam to produce at least one of planarization, densification, and exfoliation of the porous material.
