Investigation of heteroepitaxial growth of magnetite thin films.
Abstract
Epitaxial magnetite (Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}) thin films were deposited by molecular beam epitaxy using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. Films deposited on (001) SrTiO{sub 3}, (001) MgO, and (001) BaTiO{sub 3} surfaces are epitaxial with the film (001) parallel to the substrate (001) and the film <100> parallel to the substrate <100>. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism was used to determine the relative Fe{sup 2+}/Fe{sup 3+} stoichiometry of the magnetite films, which was nearly independent of oxygen partial pressure over the range studied. All films show no in-plane magnetic anisotropy. Coercive fields ranged from 0.019 to 0.039 T and depended on film roughness.
