Abstract
The nature of the antiferro-quadrupolar (AFQ) ordering of TmTe is examined theoretically by taking into account the crystal-field level scheme and the multipolar interactions. It is shown that the Gamma(3)-type AFQ order is c onsistent with the observed field-direction dependence of transition temper ature and the field-induced antiferromagnetism.
