Abstract

We performed the polarized neutron diffraction measurements in phase II of CeB₆ to observe the magnetic form factors. By the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM), we obtained the unexpected spin density distribution in CeB ₆. We clearly observed the existence not only at Ce site but also at between B₆ octahedral and at the center of triangle bonding ]in the B₆ octahedral. This is the first evidence that the magnetic moments are located between the Borons.
