Re: Any possible ideas of potential configurational and orientional dynamics of paramagnetic compounds?

For the sake of efficiency, I suggest not to mix natural magnetism AND
natural piezoelectricity. IMHO, mineralogy, crystallography and chemistry
of natural ferromagnetic and paramagnetic species do not seem to follow
common simple principles in the details (mainly in the minor element
contents). Much work has been done on factors affecting whole rock
magnetism, but as for the crystalline deep-seated details, definitive
advances have been achieved when working on synthetic spinels. I guess
that if you look after "rock magnetism and particle orientation",
"magnetism and crystal structure", etc., you will sort out the good
references. There are also several geophysical prospecting and mapping
methods more directly relevant to your electromagnetic field/current
induction querry. J.J.
