In this work, we report on the changes in structural and magnetic properties of Pt (0.7 nm)/Cr (x nm)/Co (0.5 nm) was observed. Above finding is discussed in the realm of ion beam mixing, leading to the CoCrPt ternary alloy phase formation, after low-energy He+-ion irradiation.

Keywords: He+; ion irradiation; Pt; Co; multilayers; mixing; magnetic anisotropy
