The multilayer system (MLS)-[{sup 57}Fe{sub 25}A/Co{sub 11}A/Al{sub 17}A]x20 has been deposited by Ion beam sputtering (IBS) technique. The MLS has been annealed at 700 deg. C for 1 h. Overall composition of as deposited and annealed MLS have been characterized by EDX and magnetic properties have been studied through angular dependent magneto optic Kerr effect (MOKE) hysteresis curves. The study shows that the as-deposited MLS has excellent soft magnetic properties coupled with perpendicular magnetic isotropy which is destroyed on annealing.
