and oxygen 
orbitals. To study multipole ordering, we derive effective multipole interactions from the - model by using the fourth-order perturbation theory in terms of - hopping integrals. Analyzing the effective model numerically, we find a tendency toward 
antiferro-octupole ordering.

Times Cited Count：32 Percentile：72.69(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We investigate microscopic aspects of multipole ordering in -electron systems with emphasis on the effect of lattice structure. For the purpose, we construct -electron models on three kinds of lattices, simple cubic (sc), bcc, and fcc, in a tight-binding approximation on the basis of a - coupling scheme. Then, an effective model is derived in the strong-coupling limit for each lattice with the use of second-order perturbation theory with respect to 
. By applying mean-field theory to such effective models, we find multipole ordered states depending on the lattice structure. For the sc lattice, a 
antiferro-quadrupole transition occurs at a finite temperature and at further lowering temperature, we find another transition to a ferromagnetic state. For the bcc lattice, a 
antiferro-octupole ordering occurs first, and then, a ferromagnetic phase transition follows it. Finally, for the fcc lattice, we find a single phase transition to the longitudinal triple-
octupole ordering.

= 26 K, we have initiated the first O-NMR measurements. From the temperature dependence of the O-NMR spectrum, the occurrence of two inequivalent oxygen sites has been confirmed below . This finding verifies the lowering of symmetry in the ordered state of NpO.
