We report on the investigation of changes on the magnetic properties induced by defects produced by He+-ion irradiation of the spin-ice compound Ho2 Ti2 O7. We irradiated the samples using He+-ions of 18  MeV energy and different doses. Magnetization M(H) and M(T) measurements revealed that the hallmark of spin-ice compounds, i.e., the appearance of a plateau in M(H), for the irradiated samples looks more defined and can be observed at even higher temperatures compared to the virgin sample. We have also observed systematic changes in the saturation magnetization and the Curie-Weiss temperature TCW compared to the virgin samples. Confocal Raman measurements reveal that the irradiation has induced considerable changes in the oxygen atoms tetrahedrally bonded to the holmium cations. Therefore, we conclude that the changes induced by irradiation are mostly due to the defects produced in the positions of the oxygen atoms.
