Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:38.87(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We carried out a high-resolution X-ray diffraction experiment on CeLaB. This compound exhibits antiferro-octupole order (AFO) below = 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.

Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:54.46(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The antiferromagnetic ordered phase below = 16.5 K and the unresolved intermediate phase between and (= 14 K) in SmRuP 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.

We have carried out a high-resolution X-ray diffraction experiment at low temperatures and in magnetic fields on CeLaB that exhibits antiferrooctupole (AFO) order below =1.4K. Ferroquadrupole moments that accompany the AFO order and a resultant rhombohedral deformation of the cubic lattice were theoretically predicted and experimetanlly supported. However, the sign and magnitude of the rhombohedral deformation have not yet been determined. We observe the splitting of Bragg peaks below , which is consistent with a rhombohedral deformation of 4 elongated along the [111] axis. The response of rhombohedral domains to magnetic fields also well agrees with theoretical calculations. A particular outcome of this experiment is that the magnitude of the induced quadrupole moments is precisely evaluated from the obtained shear strain.
