Abstract
In this work we report the growth and structural and magnetic characterization of heteroepitaxial FeO/MgO/Fe junctions. All
three layers have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition. Combining High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray
results, we have obtained for the heterostructure the epitaxy relation MgO(001) [100]//FeO(001)[100]/MgO(001) [100]/Fe(001)[110].
All interfaces appear very sharp with relatively small root-mean square (rms) roughness, 0.2 nm. The magnetic coupling between
FeO and Fe electrodes is also very small, 0.03 mJ/
