contents Unconventional magnetism represents a class of metallic states whose Fermi surfaces exhibit spin-dependent splittings under the non-trivial representations of the rotation group. The $d$-wave $α$-phase unconventional magnetic state, commonly known as altermagnet, recently, has attracted significant attention. While these systems exhibit distinct anisotropic $d$-wave characteristics in momentum space, how this microscopic topology translates into the spin distributions in real space remains a question. In this work, we bridge the intrinsic spin quadrupolar ordering in momentum space to the real-space staggered magnetic distribution. By introducing a weak, non-magnetic periodic crystal potential into a $d$-wave unconventional magnetic state, the spin-charge cross susceptibility is calculated by using the linear response theory. We reveal that the interplay between the crystal potential and the intrinsic $d$-wave spin-splitting naturally induces a spatial spin quadrupole distribution without enlarging the unit cell. Our study thus provides a physical connection between momentum-space multipoles in the even partial wave channel and real-space spin multipole orders.
