The southern Alvand granitoid with an area of 120 km2 is situated at south and southwest of Hamedan city. The porphyry biotite bearing granitoids are the main constitute of the pluton. Biotite is responsible for magnetic behavior of this pluton. The magnetic lineation (L), foliation (F), and anisotropy (P) parameters of oriented samples of 107 stations were measured at environmental and paleomagnetic laboratory based in Geological Survey of Iran, Tehran, Iran. The analysis of these parameters revealed there exist reverse relationship between dipping angle of magnetic lineation and foliation with their numerical magnitude, and magnetic lineation and foliation are accordance with magnetic anisotropy in Alvand granitoid. The above mentioned relationship may resulted due to interaction of different effective forces during ascending and emplacement of magma as well as their ability in ordering magnetic minerals in various positions within the magma. As ordering the magnetic minerals increasing, the numerical magnitude of magnetic lineation and foliation also, increase. The microstructural analysis also showed that most of the observed orientation in enclaves and alkali feldspars of the studied area is due to magma flow. In this study, where ever the numerical magnitude of magnetic lineation was high, the magnetic ellipsoid was prolate and where ever the numerical magnitude of magnetic foliation was high, the magnetic ellipsoid was oblate. The Darreh-Bagh granitoid of northwest of Aligodarz city in Sanandaj- Sirjan zone, shows the same relationships between magnetic parameters and is used as a support in this study.

The studied locality covers an area of 120 km2, located at south and southwest of the Hamedan city. The porphyritic granite is the dominant volume of this intrusive body. This granitoid is divided into the granites (monzogranites, syenogranites and alkali feldspar granites) and granodiorites from petrographic point of view. The major part of the study area have magmatic-sub-magmatic fabric and few of the samples show high temperature solid state deformation with presence of chess-board quartz, bending and kink band of biotite and mineral size decreasing from microstructural point of view. The total numbers of 450 oriented core samples were collected from 107 stations, to study the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility. The total average susceptibility for all samples were 114-314 µSI and the mean susceptibility (Km) of granodiorites was 457.5 µSI, and it ranges from 282-633 µSI, which is higher in compare to granites. This difference is due to the presence of magnetite grains in granodiorites, which has been proved by heavy mineral analysis. The magnetite comprises 0.01-0.025 % of total volume in these rocks. The Km normally varies from 14-514 µSI and indicates the paramagnetic type of granites. The P values vary from 0.72-7.4 %. The T values in most of the samples is positive (T>0) and show planer nature of most of the intrusive body. The high degree of dipping of magnetic foliation and lineation at the central part of the intrusive body, which decreases with increasing distance from center of the intrusive body, may indicate the location of feeding. This characterization can be seen at two other places addition to the center. On the basis of magnetic parameter and other factors such as dominant transpression tectonic regime in this area, one can say that the ascending magma was due existing of stretching environment with NW-SE trend, and this can be proved by direction of magnetic lineations at the same direction. The differences in the direction of NE-SW, which some of the studied sites show, may be due to rotation of magnetic body during injection and emplacement in response to prevailing tectonic forces in studied area and viscosity of magma.
