Abstract
Influence of heavy ions irradiation on magnetic properties of CuGeO3 single crystals is presented. Magnetization data for the irradiated sample are an alyzed in the frame of the Bonner-Fisher model. The contribution of broken- chain effects to the susceptibility of the damaged volume fraction of the s ample is considered. It is shown that irradiation leads to the breaking of dimerized Cu-O chains and to the collapse of spin dimerization.
