Paramagnetic (PM) B2 Fe₆₀Al₄₀ can be disordered into the ferromagnetic (FM) A2 structure using light noble gas ions.[1] The transition can be adjusted using the ion fluence and reversed via annealing thus providing a tunable magnetic material.

Using a focused Ne⁺ ion beam of ∼2 nm spot-size it is possible to locally induce disorder in thin films of such a material, creating FM regions in PM surroundings.[2] This enables patterning of FM|PM|FM structures in the current-perpendicular-to-plane geometry.

FM stripes of ∼100 nm widths with PM spacings down to 50 nm were written onto 40 nm thick B2 Fe₆₀Al₄₀. The reversal fields of the patterned FM stripes are adjustable via the stripe width, enabling multiple magnetic configurations. Magneto-transport properties of the ion-patterned structures as well as the effect of joule heating on the stability of A2 Fe₆₀Al₄₀ are reported.
