Abstract

Rare-earth hexaboride HoB₆ shows a ferroquadrupole ordering of O_yz, O_zx and O_xy with Γ_Q symmetry at TQ = 6.1 K accompanied by a structural change from cubic to trigonal. In order to examine the order parameter in HoB₆, we have performed ultrasonic and thermal expansion measurements. The lattice length along [001] expands ΔL/L_[001] = 2.5 × 10^-4 just below T_Q, while the length along [111] shrinks appreciably ΔL/L_[111] = -4.5 × 10^-3. This result confirms the cubic-trigonal distortion observed by neutron scattering experiments.
