The orientation of spins in a natural sample of Ti-bearing hematite (Fe2O3) has been measured previously from 2-300K using neutron powder diffraction. It was shown that spins are tilted out of the basal plane by an average angle of 30°, contrary to the expectation that all spins lie in the basal plane due to suppression of the Morin transition by Ti. This unusual result is thought to be related to ~1 nm exsolution lamellae of ilmenite (FeTiO3), observed using transmission electron microscopy. It is suggested that the exsolution lamellae lead to a localisation of Fe2+ species within the lamellar interfaces, which cause tilting of some spins towards the crystallographic c axis. Here we propose to verify this result by comparing natural and synthetic samples with and without nanoscale lamellae, and study the variation in the spin orientation on heating to above the Néel temperature.
