abstract = {Rational design and implementation of new generations of
functional materials for energy conversion and storage,
requires better fundamental understanding of these systems
along with the ability to predict their properties
accurately. [1-3] Utilizing thin film systems, the knowledge
of the driving parameters to obtain them in high quality is
crucial [4]. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) proves to be a
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, we
run an oxide MBE system for the growth of various types of
samples, i.e. “classical” magnetic thin films,
transition metal oxide heterostructures or just thin gold
films for soft matter studies, acting as defined surfaces.
However, every sample system comes with its own challenges
which makes thin film growth a research topic on its own.In
the presentation, we will give examples for high quality
metal and complex oxide thin film systems all fabricated in
the JCNS thin film laboratory, like SrCoOx, TiOx, Fe4N or
Cu/Fe multilayers. The focus lies on stoichiometry,
morphology and thickness precision and detailed information
about the possibilities of sample fabrication for users will
be given.For quasi in-situ neutron reflectometry on thin
films which are sensitive to ambient air a small versatile
transfer chamber can be utilized for sample transfer and
measurement from the MBE laboratory to the neutron
instrument MARIA [5]. To show the functionality we
determined the magnetic moment per atom of polycrystalline
Co thin films of different thickness by utilizing PNR at
room temperature in a magnetic field of 300 mT under UHV
conditions. The films were thermally deposited at room
temperature on 200 Å Pt/MgO(001). By our measurements we
quantitatively determine the magnetic moment and confirm
that it increases with Co thickness and approaches for thick
films the bulk value.Both, the MBE setup and the transfer
chamber may be booked in combination with an application for
beam time at neutron instruments like MARIA via the MLZ
proposal system.[1] R. Waser, Nanoelectronics and
