abstract = {In transition metal oxide thin films the exact control of
stoichiometry can explain phenomena like ferromagnetism or
superconductivity at interfaces of non-magnetic materials as
found in LaAlO3/SrTiO3[1]. Here, we show the influence of
growth modes on the magnetic depth profile of different
[La2/3Sr1/3] to Mn ratios in thin [La2/3Sr1/3]x[Mn]y[O]z
layers on SrTiO3 substrates via Polarized Neutron
Reflectometry.Via oxide Molecular Beam Epitaxy, it is
feasible to control not only the total stoichiometry of a
sample but additionally master an individual stoichiometry
for each atomic layer by individual operation of effusion
cell shutters for different elements. While co-deposition of
(La/Sr) and Mn lead to A site substitution of Mn in case of
Mn excess [2] in the perovskite structure ABO3, with
shuttered deposition it is feasible to grow different
crystal structures like members of the Ruddlesden−Popper
series [3]. We investigate this influence of nominally
identical stoichiometries onto the magnetic depth profile
via neutron reflectometry at TREFF@MLZ.Via two complementary
methods the films with typically 20 nm thickness were
prepared, on the one hand using conventional co-deposition
(La, Sr, and Mn shutters opened and closed simultaneously),
on the other hand via shuttered deposition (either La and Sr
shutters open or Mn shutter open). The Reflection High
Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) oscillations were
monitored to optimize the opening periods of Mn shutter or
(La/Sr) shutters.The stoichiometry of reference samples
[La2/3Sr1/3]1[Mn]1[O]3 was verified via Rutherford
Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS). The growth rates for Mn,
La and Sr were calibrated by quartz crystal balance. X-ray
reflectivity measurements revealed for all films a roughness
well below 1nm which indicates a smooth surface, via X-ray
diffraction the out-of-plane lattice parameter was
determined and therefore the oxygen saturation was verified
[4]. The magnetic properties as function of varying the
(La/Sr):Mn ratio were determined via SQUID. The
ferromagnetic transition temperature shows a well-defined
dependency as function of Mn content; with increasing Mn
content the Curie temperature increases.References[1] M.
