abstract = {Strontium cobaltite (SrCoO2.5+δ, SCO) is a fascinating
material because of its topotactic structural phase
transition caused by a change in oxygen stoichiometry. In
the brownmillerite phase (δ = 0) it is an insulating
antiferromagnet whereas in the perovskite phase (δ = 0.5)
it is a conducting ferromagnet. In contrast, the impact of
the varying Co/Sr stoichiometry on the structure has not yet
been studied in SCO thin films. Using molecular beam epitaxy
we have fabricated SCO thin films of varying Co/Sr
stoichiometry. Films with Co excess exhibit a brownmillerite
crystal structure with CoO precipitates within the thin film
and on the surface. Co deficient films are amorphous. Only
for 1:1 stoichiometry a pure brownmillerite structure is
present. We find a clear dependence of the Reflection High
Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) pattern of these thin
films on the stoichiometry. Interestingly, RHEED is very
sensitive to a Co excess of less than $12\%$ while x-ray
diffraction fails to reveal that difference. Hence, using
RHEED, the stoichiometry of SCO can be evaluated and tuned
in-situ to a high degree of precision, which allows for a
quick adjustment of the growth parameters during a sample
series.},
