Popis: Anomalous NMR spectra in phases III and III ′ of CeB 6 are analyzed theoretically by introducing a new type of hyperfine coupling of the 11 B nuclei with Ce multipolar moments. It is shown that the observed spectra can be reproduced if we take into account the antiferro-polarization of the T x y z octupole in addition to the antiferromagnetic order proposed by neutron diffraction experiment (ND). Thus ND and NMR are mutually consistent in phase III, if the octupolar contribution is properly included. The analysis of NMR gives the magnitude of the polarization of the octupolar moment. The present analysis strongly suggests that the antiferro-quadrupolar ordering of Γ 5 + type is playing an important role behind the mysterious 2 k antiferromagnetic ordering of phase III.
