abstract = {Transition metal oxides are a big research topic, because
they offer a wide range of possible applications,
particularly in information and energy technology. One such
system is strontium cobaltite (SrCoO2.5+x), which exists in
two distinct topotactic phases, depending on the oxygen
content. SrCoO3 is a ferromagnetically ordered metal with a
Curie temperature of 305 K, but the system becomes an
antiferromagnetic insulator with a Néel temperature of 570
K, when the oxygen content is decreased to SrCoO2.5. Along
with this magnetic transition, the structure changes from
perovskite to the orthorhombic brownmillerite, with the
missing oxygen atoms forming vacancy channels [1]. Because
of the multivalent Co states and high oxygen mobility it is
a promising material for device applications [2]. To control
the oxygen content, several possibilities exist. We focus on
annealing in oxidising conditions and applying variable
strain with a piezoelectric substrate to the film.We grow
thin films of SrCoO2.5 by molecular beam epitaxy on SrTiO3
and LSAT substrates for investigations of oxygen annealing
induced transitions and 0.7(Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3)-0.3(PbTiO3)
(PMN-PT), a piezoelectric substrate, to study the
possibility of a strain dependent oxidation state.To be able
to successfully control the oxidation state and transfer
strain from the substrate to the film, a high sample quality
and epitaxy is mandatory. Thus, we present the results of
the film growth and quality, as well as first results of the
magnetic characterisation by SQUID and neutron reflectometry
for annealed and strained samples.[1] C.K. Xie et al., Appl.
