The influence of Ar-ion irradiation on the microstructure, interlayer coupling and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect in the model Fe/Cr system was studied by the conversion electron Mössbauer spectrometry (CEMS), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and magnetoresistivity, for the Fe-1.4nm/Cr-tCrmultilayers with tCrranging from 0.73 to 1.85nm. The loss of antiferromagnetic coupling and the simultaneous degradation of GMR, observed for increasing ion dose, was caused by the formation of pinholes due to the increase of interface roughness and at high ion doses, by the ion-beam mixing leading to the alloying of Fe and Cr at interfaces.
