Promising candidates for switching the magnetization using voltages are multiferroic systems. As a model system we studied ultrathin Fe layers on BaTiO3(001). Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy as a powerful method to investigate structural, electronic and magnetic properties simultaneously, the circular dichroism in x-ray absorption (XMCD) and x-ray absorption as such were used to determine the remanent magnetization as a function of film thickness. The onset of ferromagnetism at a temperature of 150 K was found for 5±1 layers. Using a Heisenberg-model in the framework of Monte-Carlo-Simulations shows that up to 3 monolayers the critical temperature is around 170 K. In addition the contribution of each layer could be separated using a fully relativistic multiple scattering formalism. Different magnetic structures and their impact on the spectroscopic properties, as well as the anisotropic behaviour of the multiferrroic systems have been investigated theoretically. The spin and orbital moments as obtained from the XMCD experiments and DMFT calculations will be compared.
