Popis: The effects of quadrupolar order on structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties have been investigated for ${\text{DyVO}}_{4}$. Our detailed structure analysis demonstrated that the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect associated with $4f$ ferroquadrupolar order causes the displacement of oxygen ions surrounding a Dy ion, which makes the relative position of a V ion off-center in a ${\text{VO}}_{4}$ tetrahedron. The lattice distortion well explains antiferroelectriclike anomalies at around the quadrupolar ordering temperature. We also report the Jahn-Teller domain control giving rise to a remarkable magnetocapacitance effect by applying a small magnetic field $(\ensuremath{\sim}0.1\text{ }\text{T})$.
