. . . These days, it is truism to say that education is vital, but it is<br />
important to remind ourselves of the larger purpose of education.<br />
After all, what good is the accumulation of knowledge if it does not<br />
lead to a happier life?<br />
(the Dalai Lama, 2009)<br />
This scientific work was created under valuable support of many individuals. The author<br />
expresses his deep gratitude to<br />
• My doctoral advisor Prof. Dr. Claus M. Schneider, who provided the opportunity for<br />
pursuing this doctoral thesis in his group and shared his treasure trove of experience<br />
with us, which helped to render our experiments fruitful.<br />
• The co-corrector of my thesis Prof. Dr. Carsten Westphal and the committee members<br />
Prof. Dr. Dieter Mergel and Prof. Dr. Klaus Hornberger.<br />
• Dr. Martina Müller, for her sedulous and professional guidance through the doctoral<br />
studies. Being a part of the fresh and open-minded Young Investigators Group “Oxide<br />
Spintronics Laboratory” was an invaluable experience. 228<br />
