Magnetism in heavy-fermion metals is governed by the competition between the Kondo screening, which tends to quench the localized magnetic moments and to form a nonmagnetic ground state, and the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) coupling mechanism via the conduction electrons, which supports longrange magnetic order. This competition results in an amazingly rich variety of possible ground states. An important ingredient in the f-electron system is the strong spin-orbit coupling, which leads to the presence of new eigenstates that may be described in terms of the multipolar moments. Some heavy-fermion materials show long-range ordered multipolar phases, which are invisible to conventional diffraction techniques [1,2]. This so-called "hidden order" has been observed in a variety of compounds containing 4 f -and 5 f -elements, like URu 2 Si 2 , NpO 2 , YbRu 2 Ge 2 , and CeB 6 .Rare-Earth Borides Dmytro S. Inosov (ed.
