A gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) is a sophisticated technology used in materials science, surface engineering, and nanotechnology for precision processing of surfaces and thin films. In this method, ions are generated from clusters of gas molecules rather than from single atoms or ions. ### Key Features of GCIB: 1. **Gas Clusters**: The ions in a GCIB consist of clusters made up of numerous gas molecules, typically noble gases like argon or helium.
