Abstract

In a recent letter, J. P. Wright et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87,266401 (2001) and cond-mat/0111119] have investigated the crystal structure of magnetite below the Verwey transition temperature (TV) by means of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. We show that the interpretation given by J. P. Wright et al. is unsupported by their own crystallographic data which demonstrate, instead, the lack of atomic long-range CO in magnetite below the Verwey transition.
