Undergrad Praseodymium, other Elements, and their Magnetic Properties vs. radioactivity

[walkeraj]

Question: Does the magnetic properties of an element, like Praseodymium, vary with radioactivity?

That is, in general, does radioactivity (perhaps beta decay or alpha decay) subtly or otherwise alter the electronic structure enough to alter magnetic properties? The case for beta decay may be the more intetesting...

Do you mean varying with half-life, or due to damage to crystal structure from external irradiation ??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prase...s a chemical element,of the rare-earth metals.
Pr only seems to have one radioactive isotope (138) with half-life (~13.6 days) long enough to 'handle': The rest (~37+) decay in minutes or hours...
