Ion bombardment with light ions enables the alteration of the magnetic properties in magnetic thin film systems [1]. This technique was used to modify magnetic anisotropies in Ni80Fe20/Au/Co/Au multilayers. The as-prepared multilayers show prior to bombardment alternating in-plane (NiFe) and out-of-plane (Co) magnetization. We will present Kerr Microscopy images of 10keV He ion bombarded samples with either Au- or Co-wedges to show the dependence of the modifications of magnetic properties like anisotropy and interlayer coupling on the Au- and Co- thickness (tAu and tCo) and on the ion dose. Due to an increase of interface roughness the surface induced perpendicular anisotropy is reduced for 0.95nm ≤ tCo ≤ 1.05nm. On the other hand the ion bombardment heavily mixes ultrathin Co layers (0.35nm ≤ tCo ≤ nm) resulting in their superparamagnetic behavior.
