Abstract
As miniaturization continues, layers in devices are made thinner and their properties
become increasingly difficult to measure. There are techniques available to measure
a wide range of properties of materials at nanometer length scales and measure the
extremely small signals that they produce. This thesis focusses on the use of such
techniques to measure structural, stoichiometric, and magnetic properties of samples.
Three different material systems will be presented, each of which zooms in on a different
aspect of analysis. Their commonality is that they are oxide materials and are all in
thin film form deposited on an oxide substrate.
