Magnetic field induced structural changes in magnetite observed by resonant x-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy

When a magnetic field is applied to a single crystal of magnetite at $124\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}>T>50\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$, the monoclinic ${c}_{M}$ axis, which is the easy magnetization axis, switches to one of the ⟨100⟩ cubic directions, nearest to the direction of...
