The effects of thermal spikes occurring in the wake of swift heavy ions on the structure of oxides, oxide-metal composites and carbon based targets are reported. Linear strings of metal nanoparticles are formed along the ion tracks in silicate glasses but nanowires of amorphous carbon in fullerenes or polymers. Changes of the size, shape or stress state of the particles induced by swift heavy ion irradiation in composites affect their optical and magnetic properties.
