To better understand the mechanism of the reported 'quasi-ferromagnetism' observed in Si ions self-implanted or irradiated silicon, we carry out high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), magnetization measurements using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer, and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements of the magnetic interaction of the defect-associated sites in silicon damaged by silicon self-implantation or energetic particle beams. The SQUID measurements showed that the silicon self-implanted sample has paramagnetic ordering. FMR measurements indicated the He{sup ++} irradiated sample has a ferromagnetic interaction and yields a Lande g-factor of 2.35.
