In this report, we have utilized a new Low Energy Ion Facility (LEIF), assembled recently in the NPI research infrastructure, for adaption of the ion beam sputtering technique (IBS). The LEIF provides an intense ion beam with energy 100 eV - 35 keV and high current up to 500 uA. These are optimal parameters for the efficient IBS technique. Using IBS with a successive thermal processing in vacuum, a series of thin films of Ti-based carbides (including MXenes) have been synthetized. Besides synthesis of samples, the LEIF facility was also applied for ion beam modification of the films.
