摘要：

The structural and magnetic properties of three kinds of Fe oxide films-Fe3O4, a berthollide type of Fe oxide, and a composite of Fe3O4 and FeO-grown on MgO(001) substrates epitaxially at 423 K by pulsed laser deposition were investigated by magnetoresistance measurement and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction. The Fe3O4 film had the largest negative magnetoresistance and the roughest film-substrate interface. The very close lattice matching of single-phase Fe3O4 and MgO facilitates the formation of antiphase boundaries due to natural growth defects and of a rough interface probably due to cation interdiffusion.
