摘要
Modifications of magnetic and magneto-optical properties of Pt/Co(d(co))/Pt upon Ar+ irradiation (with energy 1.2, 5 and 30keV) and fluence, F at the range from 2 . 10(13)-2 . 10(16) Ar+ cm(-2)) were studied. Two 'branches' of increased perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and enhanced magneto-optical response are found on 2D (d(co), F) diagrams. The difference in F between 'branches' is driven by ion energy. Structural features correlated with magnetic properties have been analysed thoroughly by x-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and positron annihilation spectroscopy. Experimental results are in agreement with TRIDYN numerical calculations of irradiation-induced layers intermixing. Our work discusses particularly structural factors related to crystal lattice defects and strain, created and modified by irradiation, co-responsible for the increase in the PMA.
