Ordering of hidden multipoles in spin-orbital entangled 5$d^1$ Ta chlorides

Abstract

Spin-orbit coupling of as large as a half eV for electrons in 5$d$ orbitals often gives rise to the formation of spin-orbital entangled objects, characterized by the effective total angular momentum $J_{eff}$. Of particular interest are the $J_{eff}$ = 3/2 states realized in 5$d^1$ transition metal ions surrounded by an anion octahedron. The pure $J_{eff}$ = 3/2 quartet does not have any magnetic dipolar moment (<$M$> = 0) but hosts hidden pseudo-dipolar moments accompanied by charge quadrupoles and magnetic octupoles. Cs${}_2$TaCl${}_6$ and Rb${}_2$TaCl${}_6$ are correlated insulators with 5$d^1$ Ta${}^{4+}$ ions in a regular Cl octahedron. Here we demonstrate that these Ta chlorides have a substantially suppressed effective magnetic dipolar moment of ~ 0.2 ${\mu }_B$. Two phase transitions are observed at low temperatures that are not pronounced in the magnetization but accompanied with large electronic entropy of $R$ln4. We ascribe the two transitions to the ordering of hidden multipoles.
