Motivated by the recent progress of high-frequency ultrasonic measurements, we propose a theory of magnetoacoustic resonance as a microscopic probe for quadrupole degrees of freedom hidden in magnetic materials. A local strain driven by an acoustic wave couples to electronic states of a magnetic ion through various quadrupole-strain couplings, and this provides a periodically time-dependent oscillating field. As a typical two-level system with the quadrupole, we consider a non-Kramers doublet and investigate single- and multiphonon-mediated transition processes on the basis of the Floquet theory. An analytic form of the transition probability is derived within the weak coupling theory, which helps us analyze the magnetoacoustic quadrupole resonance. We apply the theory to realistic non-Kramers doublet systems for the f2 configuration in Oh and D4h symmetries, and discuss how to identify the relevant quadrupole by controlling the quadrupole-strain coupling with an applied magnetic field in ultrasonic measurements.
Novel materials incorporating electronic degrees of freedom other than charge, including spin, orbital or valley textit{et al} have manifested themselves to be of the great interests and applicable potentials. Recently, the multipolar degrees of free
The discovery of quadrupole topology opens a new horizon in the study of topological phenomena. However, the existing experimental realizations of quadrupole topological insulators in symmorphic lattices with $pi$-fluxes often break the protective mi
An indispensable step to understand collective magnetic phenomena in rare-earth compounds is the determination of spatially-anisotropic single-ion properties resulting from spin-orbit coupling and crystal field (CF). The CF Hamiltonian has a discrete
PuCoGa$_5$ has emerged as a prototypical heavy-fermion superconductor, with its transition temperature ($T_csimeq18.5$ K) being the highest amongst such materials. Nonetheless, a clear description as to what drives the superconducting pairing is stil
