The work presented deals with Mn-Zn ferrite (Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) film on Strontiumtitanate (SrTiO3) as preparative studies towards multiferroic layer systems. The ferrite film was prepared by PLD in 6*10-5 mbar O2 at a substrate temperature of 620 ∘C. XRD phi scans reveal an in plane epitaxial relationship of [100](Mn,Zn)Fe2O4 || [100]SrTiO3. Subsequently SQUID magnetometry measurements are planned in order to obtain magnetization loops. Furthermore, angular dependent XMCD measurements at remanent magnetization have been carried out. There was no remanent out-of-plane magnetization observed in XMCD. In addition, XMLD measurements have been performed in order to proof the antiferromagnetic coupling between Fe atoms. While the measured Mn L2,3 spectra corresponded well to bulk spectra published in literature [1], the Fe L2,3 spectra proof to exhibit defect induced magnetism in XMCD. Theoretical simulations are performed to obtain a detailed understanding. [2]
