We investigate the thickness effects on charge and magnetic orderings in Fe perovskite oxide La 1/3 Sr 2/3 FeO 3 /SrTiO 3 thin films by hard x-ray and resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) with changing thin film thickness systematically. We found that the correlation lengths of the magnetic ordering along the in-plane and out-of-plane directions are comparable and proportional to the thickness, and shows stronger thickness dependence than those of charge orderg. The magnetic ordered states disappear when the correlation length of magnetic ordering decreases to that of charge ordering through the intrinsic thickness effects. Surface sensitive grazing-incident RSXS revealed that the orderings exist even in the surface region, which indicates that the observed orderings is not affected by surface effect like oxygen vacancies. Critical thickness is in 5-15 nm, which corresponds to 4-11 antiferromagnetic ordering period. This critical value seems to be common to other ferromagnetic oxide thin films.Charge, spin, and orbital orderings in 3d transition metal perovskite oxides closely relate to the origin of remarkable physics phenomena such as metal-insulator transition, superconductivity and giant magnetoresistance. 1,2 For instance, stripe structures of spin and charge ordering in superconducting cuprates were reported 3,4 and the charge density wave was found to compete with superconducting state. 5-7

“…When phases with different periodicities coexist without a dominant single phase because of their nearly degenerate energies the behavior can be associated with the "devil's staircase", which resembles the low-temperature surface features. The competing phases can be tuned by external parameters such as temperature, pressure and magnetic field [35][36][37][38].…”

Transition-metal dichalcogenide IrTe 2 has attracted attention because of striped lattice, charge ordering and superconductivity. We have investigated the surface structure of IrTe 2 , using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). A complex striped lattice modulations as a function of temperature is observed, which shows hysteresis between cooling and warming. While the bulk 5×1 and 8×1 phases appear at high temperatures, the surface ground state has the 6×1 phase, not seen in the bulk, and the surface transition temperatures are distinct from the bulk. The broken symmetry at the surface creates a quite different phase diagram, with the coexistence of several periodicities resembling devil's staircase behavior.
