Tuning magnetic oxide phases at heterointerfaces is a compelling strategy for advancing spintronic and memristive device applications. Specifically for iron oxides, we have shown that we can tune the magnetic and electrical properties of thin films upon initiating a phase transition between magnetite, maghemite and wüstite. Here we show the preparation and characterization of epitaxial Fe3O4 thin films grown on TiO2 - terminated Nb:SrTiO3 substrates via pulsed laser deposition (PLD). We observe a change in the Verwey transition - a critical indicator of the oxygen content in the Fe3O4 films and in particular, the disappearance of the Verwey transition when positive electric field is applied. In addition, using X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD), we observed a shift in the Fe Edge. This could be explained by oxygen diffusion through the interface leading to a reversible phase transition from Fe3O4(magnetite) to γ-Fe2O3(maghemite).
