Ga+ or He+ irradiated MBE grown ultrathin films of sapphire/Pt/Co(dCo)/Pt(dPt) were studied using polar Kerr effect in wide ranges of both cobalt dCo and platinum dPt thicknesses as well as ion fluences F. Two branches of increased magnetic anisotropy and enhanced Kerr rotation angle induced by Ga+ or He + irradiation are clearly visible in two-dimensional (dCo, LogF) diagrams. Only Ga+ irradiation induces two branches of out-of-plane magnetization state. © 2013 American Institute of Physics.
