Abstract
The process of thermal perturbation in electron diffraction is used to find the direction of easy magnetization, [111], of the lattice of magnetite. In the diffraction pattern of magnetite with incidence along the [] direction, the thermomagnetic displacement of the diffraction spots takes place perpendicular to the [111] axis. This fact leads to the direction of the magnetization according to the Lorentz force.
