O
by exploring the magnetic anisotropy and spin dynamics. The combination of neutron scattering and magnetic susceptibility measurements reveals that the origin of the in-plane anisotropy is an antiferro-type interaction of the spin-nematic operator. The relation between the nematic operator and the electric polarization in the ligand symmetry of this compound is presented. The introduction of the spinnematic interaction is useful to understand the physics of spin and electric dipole in multiferroic compounds.

Times Cited Count:21 Percentile:63.87(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Neutron scattering experiments have revealed a field-induced antiferroquadrupolar order parameter in the Pr-based heavy-fermion superconductor PrOsSb
. We observed the field-induced antiferromagnetic dipole moment with the propagation vector
= (1 0 0) for the applied field direction both
[1 1 0] and [0 0 1]. For
[1 1 0] at 8 T, it should be noted that the induced antiferromagnetic moment of 0.16
/ Pr orients parallel to the field within our experimental accuracy. This observation is strong evidence that the
electric quadrupole to be the primary order parameter for
[1 1 0]. A mean-field calculation, based on
singlet and
excited triplet with the
quadrupolar interaction, reproduces the induced moment direction and its field response. These facts indicate the predominance of
-type antiferroquadrupolar interaction in PrOs
Sb

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:6.20(Physics, Condensed Matter)Neutron diffraction experiments under magnetic fields were carried out on the heavy fermion superconductor PrOsSb
in order to reveal the origin of the field-induced ordered phase (FIOP) for
[1,1,0]. The application of magnetic field induces the weak superlattice peaks with the ordering vector
=(1,0,0) in FIOP, which is the same as for
[0,0,1]. The observed superlattice reflections for
[1,1,0] result from the antiferromagnetic component of
+
; the induced tiny antiferromagnetic moments orient parallel to the applied field. This result cannot be explained by magnetic interactions and strongly evidences the underlying AFQ order with
as a primary order parameter. These facts clarify the dominant role of
-type antiferroquadrupolar interaction in PrOs
