The structural and magnetic properties of deformed powder of Mn obtained by mechanical grinding have been investigated using X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The small values of ferromagnetic moment of Mn after grinding are attributed to the formation of a deformed phase at the surface of grains with enlargement of the interatomic spacings at the grains boundaries.
Sputter deposited (Ni_{80}Fe_{20}/Au/Co/Au)_{10} multilayers, characterized by alternating in-plane and perpendicular anisotropies of the NiFe and Co layers, respectively, and out-of-plane stripe (labyrinth) domain structure in the Co layers, were bombarded by He^+-ions (10 keV) through a mask consisting of polystyrene nanospheres with a diameter of 470 nm. The changes of multilayers magnetic properties after ion bombardment are correlated with the used mask structure.
