The intertwining of electric, magnetic and structural degrees of freedom in materials is at the heart of novel strongly correlated phases such as magnetoelectric multiferoicity, superconductivity and heavy fermion ground states. Isolating the contributions of di erent degrees of freedom and characterizing their interplay are fundamental aspects to understand such unconventional phases. The multipolar expansion of the electronic conguration provides a powerful framework to attain this objective. As an example, I will present how we can reveal the role of electric quadrupole moments by measuring magnetic dipolar waves with neutron scattering in the frustrated magnet SrDy2O4. Our results indicate that electric e ects of the 4f-electrons can dominate over the magnetism in insulators and this encourages a reassessment of the description of rare-earth based magnets with unconventional properties.
