With strong flash heating effects, intense pulsed ion beam (IPIB) may induce ablation on the solid surface and it is the basis of applications such as surface cleaning, nanopowder preparation and thin-film synthesis with IPIB. In this study, the ablation of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) by IPIB was...
