By means of layer-resolved ion irradiation, the mechanisms
involved in the irradiation-driven modifications of the exchange
bias effect in 
bilayers have been investigated.
It is shown that not only the locations of the defects but also
the magnetic coupling between both layers during the irradiation
process is of crucial importance. This requires an extension of
current models accounting for defects in exchange bias systems.
