Relating to the magnetic properties of crystals or the interaction between crystal structure and magnetic fields; combining crystallography with magnetism.
From crystal combined with magnetic (from magnet, ultimately from Greek magnetis lithos meaning 'stone from Magnesia'). This specialized term emerged in materials science to describe how atomic arrangements in crystals create magnetic behavior.
Crystallomagnetic materials like iron oxide crystals in Earth's crust create our planet's magnetic field—the same force that guides compass needles has everything to do with how atoms arrange themselves in geometric perfection.
