(Color online) The magnetocrystalline energy surface for cubic magnetite (negative K1), which has easy directions in the [111] family. After (a) applying an arbitrary magnetic field vector Happ in a fixed direction, particles in solution undergo Brownian rotation through a small angle until (b) the nearest easy axis is aligned with the applied field.
