Abstract

The present work was performed on natural monocrystals from Mexico. All crystals presented well-formed natural faces of indices (01.2), (01.4), (11.3), and (00.1). They were reduced to magnetite in a thermobalance by heating at 1200°C under a pressure of 10−3 torr. The techniques used in the present work were Laue reflection diagrams and pole figures. The magnetite formed on the hematite showed preferential orientations of three different types. The mutual orientations of the two oxides all present a common zone axis for the lattices formed by the oxygen ions.
