Deposition of a 57Fe probe layer at the top of iron layers in Tb/Fe multilayers has allowed us to study locally the atomic mixing induced by high-energy heavy-ion irradiation at the Tb-on-Fe interface. The structural and magnetic transformations induced by ion irradiation of the probe layer were investigated by 57Fe conversion electron M"ossbauer spectrometry. To study directional effects of the ion beam, we have irradiated a stack of two pieces of the same multilayer set face to face. No change in the average composition of the mixed Tb-on-Fe interface was observed when the incident ion direction is changed from a Tb layer to a Fe layer, or from a Fe layer to a Tb layer.
