Abstract

In this report we review recent theoretical studies on antiferro-quadrupolar orders in CeB6 and PrOs4Sb12. Their characteristic phase diagrams originating from (quasi-) quartet crystal field levels are shown to provide a good opportunity to study orbital degrees of freedom of f electrons. The important role of neutron scattering experiments in studying hidden multipoles and their dynamic fluctuations is discussed.
