Possible long-periodic magnetic structure in SmPb$$_{3}$$

Ito, Takashi   ; Higemoto, Wataru  ; Ninomiya, Kazuhiko; Amato, A.*; Sugai, Takashi; Haga, Yoshinori   ; Suzuki, Hiroyuki*

A series of cubic SmX$$_3$$ (X=In, Sn, Pb) compounds has a $$Gamma_8$$ crystalline-electric-field ground state with various multipolar degrees of freedom. These show phase transitions at low temperatures and a possibility of multipolar ordering has been suggested. However, no microscopic experimental data is available so far and details of the ordered states have not been clarified yet. We performed muon spin relaxation measurements in order to elucidate nature of multipoles in these systems. A breaking of time-reversal symmetry was observed in all the ordered phases in zero applied field, indicating the primary order parameters are magnetic. We also obtained information about the ordered structures from a microscopic point of view.
