Description

The high-energy heavy-ion irradiation of magnetic materials induces not only amorphous matter in the ion tracks but also improvement or even creation of new magnetic properties in a stressed shell surrounding the track core. Two examples are presented in this paper: magnetization creation in the spinel ZnFe2O4 after Kr, Xe and Pb irradiations and trapping of magnetic domains in another spinel, the magnetite Fe3O4, after lead irradiation
