      abstract     = {To solve todays challenges in energy conversion and
                      information technology, fundamental understanding of thin
                      films and nanostructures is required [1,2,3]. Prerequisite,
                      however, is the fabrication of thin films. Molecular Beam
                      Epitaxy (MBE) is a very versatile method to grow high
                      quality and high purity epitaxial films with low intrinsic
                      defect concentrations and atomic-layer control. At the JCNS
                      thin film laboratory at the MLZ, we run an oxide MBE system
                      for the growth of various samples, i.e. "classical" magnetic
                      thin films, transition metal oxide thin films and films for
                      soft matter studies, like Gold layers. However, thin film
                      growth is a research topic on its own which requires
                      investigation to finally obtain thin films with optimum
                      properties. In the presentation we will give examples for
                      high quality metal and complex oxide thin film systems like
                      e.g. SrCoOx, La1−𝑥Sr𝑥MnO3, FeN4 or Cu/Fe multilayers
                      with focus on stoichiometry, morphology and thickness
                      precision and give detailed information about the
                      possibilities in sample preparation for users.To enable
                      quasi in-situ neutron scattering studies on freshly produced
                      samples by subsequent transfer of the sample from the MBE
                      laboratory to the neutron instrument MARIA we have developed
                      a small versatile transfer chamber [4]. The use of the MBE
                      setup and the transfer chamber is open for users and
                      collaborators. Users who apply for beam time at neutron
                      instruments like MARIA are welcome to prepare their samples
                      on-site with our technical support.[1] R. Ramesh and N. A.
