Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) is a set of analytical techniques that utilize ion beams to investigate the composition and structure of materials. It involves bombarding a sample with high-energy ions, which can induce various interactions with the atoms in the sample. These interactions can produce secondary particles, X-rays, or backscattered ions, which can be detected and analyzed to provide information about the material's elemental composition, thickness, and structural properties.
