A neutron‐scattering experiment to look for spin‐wave excitation‐energy changes of magnetite at the transition point 119°K showed no such change. During this work we discovered, however, that the low‐temperature structure gives rise to weak extra neutron‐diffraction lines that can be indexed as (h, k, l±½) in cubic indices. From the observed neutron polarization sensitivity of the intensities and the increasing structure factors with increasing sinθ/λ, we conclude that the extra reflections are not directly due to magnetic ordering (ferrimagnetic spirals or Fe2+–Fe3+ ordering on the octahedral sites). Rather they are caused by a lowering of the crystal symmetry.
