Ion-induced chemical disordering of paramagnetic B2-Fe60Al40 causes an increase in the Fe-Fe nearest neighbours, leading to the formation of ferromagnetic (FM) A2-Fe60Al40 [1]. Here we present FM stripes and dots in B2-Fe60Al40 directly written with a highly-focused (2 nm) Ne+ beam [2], and study the evolution of their magnetic domains with structure size. Domain imaging (using Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy and Magnetic Force Microscopy) shows the transition from irregular domains for the broadest stripes to well defined alternating domain structure for 500 nm wide stripes, and to a single domain state for widths below 100 nm. Similarly, dot structures exhibit a transition from a vortex to a single domain state. Our results show that thin-film Fe60Al40 is a model system for one-step patterning of well-defined FM nanostructures of desired geometries [2].
