Abstract: | In this work it is shown that ion irradiation of high-quality SrTiO3 single crystals can lead to room-temperature ferromagnetism. Structural analysis revealed a polycrystalline SrTiO3 layer, Sr2Ti6O13, or Ruddlesden-Popper like secondary phase at the sample surface induced by the irradiation. The lack of any measurable ferromagnetic secondary phases suggests defects are the origin of the observed ferromagnetic signal. |
