Ion irradiation of high-quality SrTiO3 single crystals leads to room-temperature ferromagnetism. Structural analysis revealed oxygen deficient (polycrystalline) SrTiO3, Sr2Ti6O13, or Ruddlesden-Popper like secondary phases at the sample surface induced by the irradiation. The lack of potentially ferromagnetic secondary phases suggests defects to be the origin of the observed ferromagnetic signal.
