Heterostructures of superconducting/ferromagnetic layers have attracted attention in controlling superconductivity by changing the magnetic state. In this work we present multilayers consisting of iron and Co-doped BaFe₂As₂ (Ba-122) fabricated by UHV pulsed laser deposition. We have employed the advantage of a coherent interfacial bonding between the FeAs tetrahedron of the iron pnictides and bcc Fe which enables the growth of epitaxial bi- and multilayers of Fe and the new Fe-based superconductors of high crystalline quality [1, 2] The epitaxial growth of the heterostructures was controlled in-situ by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and ex-situ by X-ray analysis. We discuss selected results of transport measurements with respect to the influence of additional Fe layers.
