Abstract
High dose Fe-ion-implantation induce in the thermally immiscible Ag/Fe (5-2 0 nm)/Ag-(0 0 1)-layer-system a strong tetragonal distortion of the Fe-film . For doses less than 10(16) cm(-2) ferromagnetic resonance studies reveal a reduction of the volume magnetic anisotropy constants and a strong increa se of the effective surface anisotropy constants. Annealing at 450-600 K le ads to a relaxation of the magnetic properties indicating the effects of io n implantation on the magnetic properties are caused by atomic intermixing of Ag in the Fe-layer and Fe in the Ag-layer due to ion beam mixing.
