Abstract
Uniform as well as wedge-shaped Fe3O4 layers of 0 to 50 nm were grown by MBE on single crystalline (001) MgO substrates. A magnetic interface anisotropy contribution favouring perpendicular magnetisation for thick Fe3O4 layer thicknesses was observed. However, a perpendicular magnetisation direction was not realised at low Fe3O4 thicknesses. Magnetic characterisation also indicated that the Fe3O4 layers exhibit a reduced magnetic moment at the interfaces.
