Defect induced ferromagnetism have been reported on carbon based materials. In this work we investigated the magnetic properties of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples after irradiation with swift heavy ions (SHI). Samples were irradiated under 80° and 87.5° angle of incidence using highly charged and highly energetic Pb and U ions. Such SHI irradiation generates comet-like defects on the sample surfaces. We performed magnetic force microscopy under atmospheric ambient conditions. Our measurements revealed that comet-like defects caused by SHI irradiation have significantly higher magnetic signal compared to native defects on HOPG surfaces.
