19. Inside a [111] (Formula presented) ion layer the magnetic moments are ferromagnetically coupled and aligned with the [117] direction. Therefore, if the magnetic spins are aligned along the [117] direction instead of directly along the [111] surface normal the measured magnet moment will be reduced by (Formula presented), the angle between the [111] and [117] directions
