Neutron diffraction measurements conducted under applied magnetic fields evidence the ordered structure ofbelow approximately 0.1 K. A two-channel (orbital) Kondo effect is expected to act within the non-Kramers doublet ground state of the Prelectrons of this material in cubic symmetry. Antiferromagnetic reflections are clearly induced under the influence of applied magnetic fields, which are characterized by the propagation vector q=(1/2,1/2,1/2). This result indicates antiferromagnetic-type ordering of the Pr-electron multipoles. The-type quadrupole,, is the dominant order parameter deduced from the observed magnetic structure factor. We also discuss the entanglement of various finite-magnitude multipoles up to third rank, which are relevant to the low-energy crystalline-electric-field split levels in this material.
