Fe3O4/SrTiO3 heterostructures are promising candidates for oxide spintronics, as their functionality depends strongly on the interface properties. For this purpose, we emphasized on the impact of reduces dimensionality on the magnetoelectronic and structural properties of ultrathin magnetite.
Magnetite thin films are grown epitaxially on Nb-SrTiO3(001) substrates via pulsed laser deposition with varying thicknesses (d=2-38nm). By magnetic characterization, it is found for ultrathin Fe3O4 coverages (d=2nm) that the saturation magnetization MS reduces to 1µB/f.u and the Verwey transition shifts towards lower value TV=20K instead of 4µB/f.u and 120K for bulk Fe3O4 respectively. Using HAXPES and XMCD techniques provides complementary element-selective information of the surface and buried interface magnetoelectronic structure. Our results suggest the formation of a 2ML γ-Fe2O3 intralayer at the interfaces. Interfacial redox reaction or oxygen mobility could account for the formation of this intralayer phase.
