Transition metal oxide thin films show a huge variety of fascinating phenomena like ferromagnetism at interfaces of non-magnetic materials as found in SrTiO3/KTaO3[1]. By oxide Molecular Beam Epitaxy we achieve high quality epitaxial films with exact composition control. Here, we compare single layers of [La2/3Sr1/3]1Mn1O3, [La2/3Sr1/3]2Mn3O8 and [La2/3Sr1/3]3Mn2O7 on SrTiO3. The stoichiometry was adjusted in-situ via quarz-crystal balance and cross-checked with RBS while the growth mode was monitored via RHEED. By LEED, XRR and XRD, the crystalline sample quality was studied. The magnetic properties were determined via SQUID. We report investigations of the depth-dependent distribution of magnetic moments in these layers via neutron reflectometry. At TREFF@FRM II we quantified the thickness of the magnetic dead layer[2,3] at the interface.
