Multilayers grown by simultaneously deposition of carbon and Fe, Au, Cu or Ni ions reveal a self-organization process with alternately metal-rich and metal-deficient layers. These layers are of the size of a few nanometers. The metal-rich layers consist of crystalline clusters while the metal-deficient ones of amorphous carbon. Concentration distributions were analyzed by Rutherford backscattering (RBS) measurements while the structure induced by the ions was examined via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A model of the multilayer formation can be described by an interplay of sputtering, surface segregation, ion induced diffusion, and the stability of small clusters against ion bombardment. First investigations on the optical and magnetic properties of such multilayers will be presented.
