The microstructure of Co/Pt multilayers with large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) was investigated before and after energetic ion irradiation. No pronounced microstructural changes were detected at ion doses sufficient to completely reduce the PMA and cause a spin reorientation transition to in-plane. Ion-induced displacement of Co and Pt atoms near Co/Pt interfaces lead to local “roughening” and Co layer strain relaxation, reducing the PMA. The magnetic domain confinement induced by ion irradiation and magnetic patterning by selective ion irradiation were also investigated.

There is currently great interest in magnetic multilayer (ML) thin films (see e.g.), because they display some interesting magnetic properties. Co/Pd and Co/Au ML systems exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy below certain Co layer thicknesses, which makes them candidates for applications in the field of magneto-optical recording. It has been found that the magnetic anisotropy of a particular system strongly depends on the preparation method (vapour deposition, sputtering, ion beam sputtering) as well as on the substrate, underlayer and deposition temperature. In order to get a better understanding of the correlation between microstructure and properties a thorough cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) study of vapour deposited Co/Pd and Co/Au (111) MLs was undertaken (for more detailed results see ref.).The Co/Pd films (with fixed Pd thickness of 2.2 nm) were deposited on mica substrates at substrate temperatures Ts of 20°C and 200°C, after prior deposition of a 100 nm Pd underlayer at 450°C.
