= 1.4 K, and it is theoretically suggested that ferroquadrupole moments and a resultant rhombohedral deformation are induced in the AFO phase. We observe the splitting of Bragg reflections below and find that the unit cell is rhombohedral with the elongated [111] axis. We also precisely evaluate the magnitude of the induced quadrupole moments from the obtained shear strain and find that the quadrupole moments are not reduced in the AFO phase.

Synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy of CeRh
Si has been performed in pulsed high magnetic fields of up to 32 T. The Ce valence is slightly larger than 3+ at 5 K and decreases with increasing magnetic above 20 T. The field-induced valence change seems to correspond to the metamagnetic transition in the magnetization process. This phenomena is similar to our previous result on CeRuSi and seems to be common in Ce-based heavy fermion compounds.

We study the 
-type antiferro-octupole (AFO) ordered state of CeLaB below 1.5 K by resonant X-ray diffraction in magnetic fields. Multipole moments induced by the field in the AFO phase are identified. In a mean-field model for the AFO order within the 
quartet crystal-field ground state, the 
and 
antiferroquadrupoles (AFQ) are expected as mostly induced AFQ. However, in contrast to this expectation, the main induced moment is found to be the 
-type AFQ.

P have been studied by resonant and nonresonant X-ray diffraction. In the intermediate phase, nonresonant Thomson scattering with = (1,0,0) is induced by applying a magnetic field. This phenomena is caused by atomic displacements reflecting the charge order in the 
band, as predicted theoretically. Simultaneously, the antiferromagnetic moment of Sm is enhanced along the field direction, which is considered to reflect the staggered ordering of the 
- crystal-field states. The present results show that the orbital-dependent - 
hybridization in association with the nesting instability in the band gives rise to the unconventional charge order similarly with PrRuP and PrFeP.

By utilizing diamond X-ray phase plates to rotate the incident linear polarization and a conventional crystal analyzer system, full linear polarization analysis has been performed to identify the order parameters. The analysis shows that the 
quadrupoles are more induced by the field than the 
quadrupoles in phase IV, in disagreement with mean-field calculations, in which the quadrupole is the main induced moment. Hence, we consider that large fluctuations of the quadrupole is hidden behind the primary ordering of the octupole.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：52.46(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The temperature and magnetic field dependences of Yb valence were observed in the heavy fermion compoundYbRhSi by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The measurements revealed that the Yb valence decreases with decreasing temperature in the range from 200 to 2 K and increases with increasing magnetic field in the range from 0 to 33 T without showing an abrupt change in the Yb valence. The Yb valence is in the range from 2.92 to 2.96 depending on temperature and magnetic field. With respect to the valence being 2.92 at 0 T and 2.93 at 33 T in 2 K, YbRhSi is a valence fluctuation compound and does not reach the integer trivalent state at high magnetic field. These results endorse the conventional knowledge that the valence of Yb is very close to the integer value of 3+, decreases with decreasing temperature, and becomes closer to 3+ with increasing magnetic field.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：89.84(Instruments & Instrumentation)Resonant X-ray diffraction is a powerful tool for detecting ordered structures of charge, magnetic and orbital degrees of freedom. The symmetry of an order parameter is determined by changing the relative orientation between the polarization of incident X-rays and the order parameter. A new method suited for extreme conditions is performed by rotating the incident polarization using a diamond phase plate. A disadvantage of this method is significant loss in intensity for low-energy X-rays. In order to obtain both a high degree of linear polarization and strong X-ray intensity, we have constructed optics that compensates chromatic aberration using two diamond phase plates. In a test experiment in beamline BL22XU at SPring-8, two 300 microns diamond phase plates were used. The obtained linear polarization reached more than 96% at 6.15 keV, showing marked improvement compared to the linear polarization 90% obtained by a single 500 microns phase plate.

This antiferromagnetic material shows a jump in dielectric constant at 9 K only when a magnetic field of a few tesla is applied. In-field X-ray diffraction measurements clarified that there is no sudden change in structure that involves atomic displacement within the c-plane in Pbnm notation, while the antiferromagnetic phase transition at 60 K gives rise to a noticeable rotation of the MnO octahedra. This rotation occurs to maximize the energy gain through the exchange interaction.

Times Cited Count：11 Percentile：56.50(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The X-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra at the Yb L edge were measured in the mixed-valent heavy fermion compound YbAgCu at high magnetic fields and low temperatures. The magnetic-field-temperature (H-T) phase boundary determined by the valence state is in very good agreement with that determined by the magnetization. It is clearly found that the metamagnetism of this compound is due to the field induced valence transition. A distinctive positive peak of the XMCD spectra appears in the vicinity of the white line of the absorption due to Yb
state, while no feature is observed in the XMCD spectra corresponding to the Yb
state. A small negative XMCD peak was observed at a lower energy and was attributed to the quadrupole trasition from theoretical calcuration, which explains its peculicar magnetic field dependence.

The valence was slightly larger than for the pure trivalent state, as expected in heavy fermion compounds, and it decreased toward the trivalent state as the magnetic field was increased. The field-induced valence reduction indicates that the itinerant character of the 4 electrons in CeRuSi was suppressed by a strong magnetic field. The suppression was gradual and showed a characteristic magnetic field dependence, which reflects the metamagnetism around 
8T.

absorption edge to study the states of quadrupolar ordering below the ferromagnetic transition temperature 
= 6.3 K. The magnetic structure of CePdS was reported as a canted ferromagnetic structure with a canting angle of 51
. It has therefore been pointed out that the complex magnetic structure arises from the simultaneous ordering of quadrupole moments. We observed the azimuthal angle dependence of the diffraction intensity of the two forbidden reflections 003 and 104 reflections for both 
-' and -
' scattering processes. The results revealed that 
-type antiferroquadrupolar ordering coexists with magnetic ordering. We infer that the magnetic structure of CePdS is not a canted structure but a ferrimagnetic structure and that the quadrupole moment is also a primary-order parameter.
