Since years ferromagnetic transition-metal oxide (TMO) films have been a subject of intensive research due to possible applications in various fields of technology. Highly spin-polarized TMO films, among them magnetite (Fe3O4) are claimed to have a large potential for future applications in spin-electronic devices.
High-quality thin epitaxial Fe3O4(100) and Fe3O4(111) films were prepared by MBE and the crystalline surface structure of the films was studied by LEED and STM. The surface electronic structure of thin epitaxial Fe3O4 films has been investigated at room temperature by means of spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. A maximum spin polarization value of about −(55±10)% was found near EF at room temperature for the Fe3O4(100) films on MgO(100) substrates. For epitaxial Fe3O4(111) films higher spin polarization values up to about −(80±5)% were observed near EF at room temperature.
