Magnetic stripe patterns in a magnetically patterned lateral exchange spring film are created by ion implantation. Periodic domain patterns with predefined positions are created by local alloying. The laterally confined modulation of magnetic properties opens new opportunities to the tuning of functionalities of soft‐magnetic thin films.
