to elucidate magnetic and superconducting properties. Temperature independent
SR spectra were observed below 1K, indicating that the phase transition at 0.11K is non-magnetic origin, most probably pure quadrupole ordering. In the superconducting phase, no sign of unconventional superconductivity, like a broken time reversal symmetry superconductivity, is seen below
=0.05K. Moreover, we have observed spontaneous muon spin precession in a zero field in the paramagnetic phase below 15K, suggesting a novel coupling between

We determined the electron-nuclear level scheme in the paramagnetic state of the holmium-based cubic compound HoCo
Zn
using macroscopic thermodynamic probes alone. From magnetization and specific heat measurements, together with detailed analyses, we obtained the crystalline electric field (CEF) parameters, the magnetic exchange constant, and the hyperfine coupling constant between the
magnetic moment and the
Ho nuclear spin. These refined parameters reveal that the
CEF ground state is split by the hyperfine coupling, and that the sextet formed through coupling between the effective
spin of the
electrons and the
spin of the
Ho nucleus constitutes the paramagnetic ground state. Remarkably, the splitting energy width exceeds 1 K at zero magnetic field, underscoring the importance of electron-nuclear spin coupling in strongly correlated electron systems.

In caged structural compound PrRh
Zn
, superconductivity and other unknown phase transition occur at the same temperature 0.06K. This phase transition is speculated as quadrupole phase transition. However, no any microscopic study is carried out up to now and detail of the phase transition is not known at all. We have studied quadrupole ordering and superconductivity in PrRh
Zn
by using muon spin relaxation method at J-PARC muon science facility. As a result, we have not observed any significant change of the signal above and below phase transition temperature. This fact indicate the no magnetic phase transition occur and support the quadrupole phase transition. In addition, no trace of an unconventional superconductivity was detected in our measurements. In the presentation, we will mention detail of the measurements.

We investigated the magnetic properties of HoCo
Zn
, a cubic compound that is a candidate material for realizing the three-channel Kondo effect (3CK). Macroscopic physical measurements revealed antiferromagnetic ordering below 0.6 K. Analysis of magnetization data above 2 K suggests a
crystalline-electric field (CEF) ground state, in which 3CK is theoretically expected to occur. However, discrepancies between the experimental and calculated specific heat at very low temperatures were observed due to nuclear specific heat at Ho sites. By incorporating hyperfine coupling into the model, we successfully reproduced the experimental data and demonstrated that the
CEF ground state is split by hyperfine interactions on the order of 1 K. In this talk, we will present details of the 4
-electron ground state and discuss the possible emergence of 3CK in cubic Ho-based compounds.
