In the present work, we report on the interfacial characterization of pulsed laser deposited epitaxial bilayer structures of ZnO/Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} on single crystal alumina (0001) substrates using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study revealed (111) oriented growth of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} and (0001) oriented growth of ZnO in this bilayer structure. Phi-scan shows the epitaxial nature of individual layers. Depth resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements confirm the formation of Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} at the interface. Observed magnetization measurements are in correlation with the structural results.
