A state-of-the-art oxide-MBE (Molecular Beam Epitaxy) system has been commissioned at the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) in 2010. It is designed to create high quality epitaxial thin films and heterostructures of complex oxides utilizing co-deposition and in-situ oxidation for quasi in-situ neutron scattering studies at the new dedicated MAgnetism Reflectometer with high Incident Angle (MARIA) of the JCNS by transferring the sample in a UHV transport chamber to the neutron beam.
We report on progress in the fabrication of systems of metal and complex oxide thin films like [Cr/Fe]x/GaAs and La1−xSrxMnO3/SrTiO3, respectively, with the fine control of stoichiometry, morphology, and thickness. We have carried out careful calibration of the deposition rates of the constituent elements by reflective high energy electron diffraction intensity oscillations, Auger intensity analysis and ex-situ X-Ray diffraction. Annealing steps have been optimized to obtain atomically smooth films which have been checked with atomic force microscopy.
