Figure 1
The low-temperature structure of magnetite in the C2/c unit cell. Octahedral Fe B-site ions are shown as red spheres and tetrahedral Fe A-site ions are shown as yellow spheres. B1- and B2-site ions form separate chains parallel to the a axis and B3- and B4-site ions form mixed chains parallel to the b axis, stacked in layers in the order B1, B3 + B4, B2, B3 + B4, connected by Fe A-site ions, along the c-axis. B1b and B1b′, B2a and B2a′, B3 and B3′ and B4 and B4′ pairs are crystallographically equivalent in the P2/c cell. The high-temperature cubic cell is shown as a solid black line.
