We report on the cluster glass nature and photoinduced magnetization ͑PIM͒ of ͑Ni, Zn, Fe, Ti͒ 3 O 4 thin films prepared using a pulsed-laser deposition ͑PLD͒ technique. The films exhibit cluster glass behaviors with a spin-freezing temperature T f of approximately 230 K. It was found that the magnetization increases following light irradiation below T f . The experimental results suggest that the electronic transitions induced by photons are intrinsic to the observed PIM rather than the thermal heating effects resulting from light irradiation. The change in the magnetization from the original dark value at 10 K was approximately 40% for the Ni 0.7 Zn 0.3 Fe 1.7 Ti 0.3 O 4 film, and it was approximately 5% for the Ni 0.4 Zn 0.6 Fe 2 O 4 film when the excitation intensity is 1.48 mW/ mm 2 . The analysis of the excitation energy dependence of PIM suggests that an intervalence charge transfer Ti 4+ +Fe 2+ → Ti 3+ +Fe 3+ contributes to the observed enhancement in the PIM of the Ti-substituted films.
