L10 (CuAu(I)-type) ordered FePd as well as FePt and CoPt, due to their high magnetic anisotropy, are candidate materials for future ultra-high density magnetic recording. Atomic diffusion governs the structural relaxation and associated changes in the physical and magnetic properties in these alloys. Such processes involve diffusion paths of a few angstroms. In developing modern storage devices it is indispensable to understand these processes. Neutron reflectometry (NR) and Synchrotron M\"ossbauer Reflectometry (SMR) are suitable non destructive methods to study self-diffusion in a chemically homogenous isotope multilayer with diffusion lengths of the order of a few angstroms. From the diffusion parameters obtained from NR and SMR evaluation we determined activation energies (Q) and preexponent factors (D0) for the distinct environment in the FePd samples. We obtained the highest activation energy (1.82\pm0.38 eV)and lowest preexponential factor((5.76\pm0.35)*10-14 m2/s) for the ordered L10 as oppose to the iron rich regions were the activation energy (1.48\pm0.26 \pmV) found to be lowest and the preexponential factor the highest ((1.01\pm0.61)*10-13 m2/s).
