Abstract

We present a study of the structural and magnetic effects induced by focused 30 keV Ga+ ion beam irradiation on a Pt(2.8nm)/[Pt(0.6nm)/Co(0.3nM)](6)/Pt(6.5nm) ferromagnetic multilayer, using transmission electron microscopy, optical and, magneto-optical microscopy. The work is of relevance to high-density data-storage applications, where media planarity is crucial for device reliability.
