Magnetite: Preferred Orientation on the Basal Plane of Partially Reduced Hematite.
Crystallites of two different orientations have been observed in the polycrystalline magnetite layer formed by carbon monoxide reduction on the basal plane of a hematite single crystal. The relative reducibility of hematite and magnetite ores may be related to this double orientation.
