In this work, we propose and demonstrate a fast and facile approach for NbxSn thin film deposition through the ion exchange reaction. By simply dipping a tin precursor on the Nb substrate surface, a ~600 nm thin film is generated due to the electronegativity differ-ence between Sn and Nb. Through X-ray photoelec-tron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling, the composi-tional information as a function of film thickness was obtained. Results showed a Sn layer on the film sur-face, Sn-rich and Nb-rich NbxSn layers as the majority of the film, and a ~60 nm Nb3Sn layer at the film/substrate interface. Quantitative analysis con-firmed stoichiometric Nb/Sn ratio for the Nb3Sn layer. This deposition method is demonstrated to be an alter-native choice for Nb3Sn film growth.
