X-ray study of ferroic octupole order producing anomalous Hall effect

The X-ray magnetic circular dichroism detection of magnetic octupole moment has not been experimentally demonstrated so far. Here, the authors observe ferroic order of magnetic octupole in Mn3Sn, finding the exotic material functionalities related to the multipole order.
