contents The strong coupling between spin, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom in perovskite oxides leads to an array of exotic phenomena, giving these materials rich phase diagrams that can include coupled orders. This is exemplified by the A-site doped ferrite La$_{1/3}$Sr$_{2/3}$FeO$_{3}$ (LSFO), which exhibits a coupled paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic and charge ordering phase transition at $\sim$190 K that has been well studied in thin films, bulk, and polycrystalline samples. However, the low temperature behavior of LSFO thin films below $\sim$100 K has not been thoroughly explored. This work uses several X-ray scattering and spectroscopy techniques to directly probe LSFO's magnetic and charge order down to low temperature. Using resonant X-ray scattering, we observe a complete suppression of LSFO's known antiferromagnetic and charge order below $\sim$25 K. Further spectroscopy and coherent scattering measurements provide insight into LSFO's electronic structure and domain dynamics in this new low temperature phase, and we propose possible explanations for the observed order suppression based on reduced dimensionality of domains in our thin films. Our findings provide insight into the effects of competing interactions in strongly correlated materials, particularly those with coupled orders.
