This paper presents numerous physical characteristics of Ca, V, Sn doped yttrium iron garnet (CaVSn:YIG) irradiated with 0.56 GeV carbon ions delivered by the Heavy Ion Research Facility of Lanzhou (HIRFL). The reason for change of the magnetic properties of the samples induced by energetic carbon ions bombardment is discussed. By comparison of this results with the irradiation effects of YIG induced by energetic argon, krypton and xenon obtained on the GANIL, Caen, France, it is concluded that the irradiation effect of 0.56 GeV C⁶⁺ on CaVSn: YIG arises from the electronic energy losses.
