We have been able to induce a linear dichroic signal in the Ybx-ray absorption white line of cubicby the application of a magnetic field. The nonzero integrated intensity of the magnetic field induced dichroic spectrum indicates a net noncubicorbital polarization. A quantitative analysis of the temperature and field strength dependence establishes that the crystal-field ground state is aquartet. The results demonstrate the potential of magnetic field induced linear dichroism as a new powerful approach for the investigation of the degeneracy and orbital degrees of freedom of cubic heavy-fermion and Kondo systems.
