In transition metal oxide thin films the precise control of stoichiometry can explain phenomena like ferromagnetism or superconductivity at interfaces, e.g. LaAlO3/SrTiO3 [1]. Here, we grew [La2/3Sr1/3]n±1[Mn]n[O]3n±1 layers on SrTiO3 by Oxide Molecular Beam Epitaxy. In our study we compared the influence of deposition methods, co-deposition and shuttered growth on the magnetic depth profile of different [La2/3Sr1/3] to Mn ratios. During growth, RHEED oscillations [2] were constantly monitored to observe the structural quality. The samples were characterized structurally (LEED, XRR, XRD) and magnetically (SQUID). The stoichiometry was further checked via RBS. The relation of different deposition methods and depth-dependent distribution of magnetic moments was achieved via Polarized Neutron Reflectometry at TREFF@MLZ.
