abstract = {Oxide heterostructures possess a wide range of electrical
and magnetic properties arising, in particular, via
interactions across their interfaces. Iron oxides generally
and Fe3O4 particularly have a multitude of electric and
magnetic functionalities which makes them interesting
candidates for magnetic applications and heterogeneous
catalysis. Controlling the oxide-interfaces opens additional
manufacturing possibilities for functional devices.
Moreover, switching between the different functional phases
of iron oxides may open up novel routes to control and tune
magnetic states via thermal phase design. It is therefore,
our primary goal to understand, control, and tune the
interface properties of Fe3O4/SrTiO3 and Fe3O4/YSZ
heterostructures. In this study, using hard X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES), we demonstrate phase
transformations from Fe3O4 to either 𝛾-Fe2O3 or FeO
through active redox reactions across three relevant
interfaces, i.e. (1) the outside atmosphere/Fe𝑥O𝑦 film
interface, (2) the interface between phase-transformed
Fe𝑥O𝑦/Fe𝑥O𝑦 intralayers and (3) the
Fe𝑥O𝑦/oxide substrate interface. We find that the
"active" oxide substrates (SrTiO3 or YSZ) play an important
role as an additional oxygen supplier or scavenger. This
leads to a clear alteration of the standard
temperature-pressure phase diagram of iron oxides.
Accordingly, we calculate the effective oxygen pressure
through the interfaces and adjust the phase diagram.
Moreover, using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and
X-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism (XMCD and
XMLD), we monitor the local distortion and the orbital
character of the Fe sites in the iron oxides thin films. Our
findings allow us not only to control the interfaces but
more importantly, to tune their physical functionalities by
a controlled thermal phase design, giving access to far from
equilibrium phases.},
