abstract = {Transition metal oxides (TMO's) show functionalities which
make them promising candidates for sensors and storage
devices in future information technologies, because of
electronic correlations and complex ordering phenomena. Such
devices will consist of heterostructures of different TMO's,
where interfaces can add additional functionalities, which
cannot be found in the individual constituents. The subtle
balance between electronic, spin, and lattice degrees of
freedom leads to a variety of quantum phenomena in TMO's and
results in an extreme sensitivity to external stimuli such
as pressure and magnetic fields. The use of thin films
increases the plethora of phenomena due to the reduced
dimensionality, and epitaxial strain. At the interface
completely new phenomena like magnetic interlayers between
two non-magnetic layers or metallic behavior between two
insulating materials may emerge, which cannot be found in
the bulk materials. The main part of this thesis is an
investigation of the system La$_{1/3}$Sr$_{2/3}$FeO$_{3}$
(LSFO) and La$_{2/3}$Sr$_{1/3}$MnO$_{3}$(LSMO). LSFO
contains a Verwey transition with a resistivity increase of
eight orders of magnitude from 300K to 10 K, coinciding with
an antiferromagnetic and a charge ordering transition. The
samples were prepared with two powerful oxide growth
methods, the high oxygen pressure sputtering, which was used
for the LSMO growth, and a state of the art oxide molecular
beam epitaxy system for the LSFO growth. The optimized
growth of the individual layers and the heterostructures
will be presented in detail. Furthermore, a detailed
investigation with regard to structural, magnetic, and
electronic properties will be shown. Single layers as well
as heterostructures grow epitaxially on a SrTiO$_{3}$
substrate, in spite of a transfer procedure from one
preparation chamber to another under atmosphere, which was
necessary for the growth of heterostructures. The
stoichiometric samples exhibit a good crystallinity and low
surface roughness. However, the interface morphology in the
heterostructures depends crucially on the growth order.
Significant iron interdiffusion from the pre-deposited LSFO
into the LSMO layer to at least nine unit cells is
observable for the system LSMO/LSFO, whereas the LSFO
deposited on LSMO exhibits a sharp interface with
interdiffusion restricted to two unit cells at most. The
differences of the magnetic properties are also remarkable.
The LSMO/LSFO sample shows an increased Curie temperature, a
reduced interface magnetization, and a vanishing exchange
bias effect, which is linked to the interdiffusion. In
contrast, the system LSFO/LSMO has a homogeneous
magnetization in the whole layer, but the macroscopic
magnetization measurements reveal an additional magnetic
impurity phase which persists at temperatures higher than
380 K, with a rather high coercive field. M(H) measurements
feature an inverted hysteresis at 110K and a strong field
cooling dependency of the magnetization at 10 K, which
includes a significant exchange bias effect. The second
investigated system belongs to a new class of magnetic
materials, namely those where magnetism is caused by
p-electrons as predicted by Gruber et al. [1] and Oja et al.
[2]. These materials provide new routes to future storage
devices as one can magnetically dope ferroelectric materials
like BaTiO3 to achieve artificial multiferroic materials.
The realization of such systems seems to be challenging and
only initial results of a BaTiO$_{3}$ bulk system and
KTaO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$ heterostructure can be presented.},
