Clarifying the underlying mechanisms that govern ordering transitions in condensed matter systems is crucial for comprehending emergent properties and phenomena. While transitions are often classified as electronically driven or lattice-driven, we present a departure from this conventional paradigm in the case of the double perovskite Ba$_2$MgReO$_6$. Leveraging resonant and non-resonant elastic x-ray scattering techniques, we unveil the simultaneous ordering of structural distortions and charge quadrupoles at a critical temperature of $T_\mathrm{q}$$\sim$33 K. Using a variety of complementary first-principles-based computational techniques, we demonstrate that while electronic interactions drive the ordering at $T_\mathrm{q}$, it is ultimately the lattice that dictates the specific ground state that emerges. Our findings highlight the crucial interplay between electronic and lattice degrees of freedom, providing a unified framework to understand and predict unconventional emergent phenomena in quantum materials. |
