We report thermal expansion and magnetostriction of the cubic non-Kramers system PrIr$_2$Zn$_{20}$ with a non-magnetic $varGamma_{3}$ ground state doublet. In previous experiments, antiferroquadrupolar order at hbox{$T_{mathrm{Q}}=0.11$,K} and a Fermi liquid state around $B_{mathrm{c}}approx5$,T for hbox{$boldsymbol{B}parallel[001]$}, indicative of possible ferrohastatic order, were discovered. For magnetic fields hbox{$boldsymbol{B}parallel[001]$}, the low temperature longitudinal and transverse thermal expansion and magnetostriction are highly anisotropic. The resulting volume strain is very small, indicating that the Pr valence remains nearly constant as a function of magnetic field. We conclude that the Fermi liquid state around $B_{mathrm{c}}$ forms through a very little change in c-f hybridization. This result is in sharp contrast to Ce- and Yb-based Kramers Kondo lattices which show significantly larger volume strains due to the high sensitivity of the Kondo temperature to hydrostatic pressure.

Inelastic neutron scattering experiments on poly crystalline sample of heavy-fermion compound YbCo$_2$Zn$_{20}$ were carried out in order to obtain microscopic insights on the ground state and its magnetic field response. At zero field at 300 mK, ine
lastic response consists of two features: quasielastic scattering and a sharp peak at 0.6 meV. With increasing temperature, a broad peak comes up around 2.1 meV, whereas quasielastic response gets broader and the peak at 0.6 meV becomes unclear. By applying magnetic field, the quasielastic response exhibits significant broadening above 1 T, and the peak at 0.6 meV is obscure under fields. The peaks in inelastic spectra and its temperature variation can be ascribed to the suggested crystal-field model of ${{Gamma}_6}$ - ${{Gamma}_8}$ - ${{Gamma}_7}$ with the overall splitting of less than 3 meV. The observed quasielastic response and its rapid broadening with magnetic field indicates that the heavy-electron state arises from the ground state doublets, and are strongly suppressed by external field in YbCo$_2$Zn$_{20}$.
Superconductivity in PrIr$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ appears at $T_{rm c} = 0.05$ K in the presence of an antiferroquadrupolar order below $T_{rm Q} = 0.11$ K. We have studied pressure dependences of $T_{rm c}$, $T_{rm Q}$, and non-Fermi liquid behaviors in the
resistivity $rho (T)$ by using two pressure transmitting media: argon maintaining highly hydrostatic pressure, and glycerol, which solidifies above 5 GPa producing nonhydrostatic pressure. Upon applying $P$ with argon up to 10.6 GPa, $T_{rm c}$ hardly changes, while $T_{rm Q}$ monotonically increases from 0.11 to 0.23 K. With glycerol, however, $T_{rm Q}$ and $T_{rm c}$ simultaneously fall below 0.04 K at 6.3 GPa. The contrasting results indicate that onsite quadrupolar fluctuations induce superconductivity in this compound.
We present the electrical resistivity data under application of pressures up to $sim$ 26 GPa and down to 50 mK temperatures on YbFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$. We find a pressure induced magnetic phase transition with an onset at $p_c$=18.2$pm$0.8 GPa. At ambient
pressure, YbFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$ manifests a heavy fermion, nonmagnetic ground state and the Fermi liquid behavior at low temperatures. As pressure is increased, the power law exponent in resistivity, $n$, deviates significantly from Fermi liquid behavior and tends to saturate with $n$ = 1 near $p_c$. A pronounced resistivity maximum, $T_text{max}$, which scales with Kondo temperature is observed. $T_text{max}$ decreases with increasing pressure and flattened out near $p_c$ indicating the suppression of Kondo exchange interaction. For $p>p_c$, $T_text{max}$ shows a sudden upward shift, most likely becoming associated with crystal electric field scattering. Application of magnetic field for $p>p_c$ broadens the transition and shifts it toward the higher temperature, which is a typical behavior of the ferromagnetic transition. The magnetic transition appears to abruptly develop above $p_c$, suggesting probable first-order (with changing pressure) nature of the transition; once stabilized, the ordering temperature does not depend on pressure up to $sim$ 26 GPa. Taken as a whole, these data suggest that YbFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$ has a quantum phase transition at $p_c$ = 18.2 GPa associated with the avoided quantum criticality in metallic ferromagnets.
Magnetization, resistivity and specific heat measurements were performed on the solution-grown, single crystals of six GdT$_2$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh and Ir) compounds, as well as their Y analogues. For the Gd compounds, the Fe column membe
rs manifest a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state (with an enhanced Curie temperature, $T_{mathrm{C}}$, for T = Fe and Ru), whereas the Co column members manifest an antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state. Thermodynamic measurements on the YT$_2$Zn$_{20}$ revealed that the enhanced $T_{mathrm{C}}$ for GdFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$ and GdRu$_2$Zn$_{20}$ can be understood within the framework of Heisenberg moments embedded in a nearly ferromagnetic Fermi liquid. Furthermore, electronic structure calculations indicate that this significant enhancement is due to large, close to the Stoner FM criterion, transition metal partial density of states at Fermi level, whereas the change of FM to AFM ordering is associated with filling of electronic states with two additional electrons per formula unit. The degree of this sensitivity is addressed by the studies of the pseudo-ternary compounds Gd(Fe$_x$Co$_{1-x}$)$_2$Zn$_{20}$ and Y(Fe$_x$Co$_{1-x}$)$_2$Zn$_{20}$ which clearly reveal the effect of 3d band filling on their magnetic properties.
The hallmark of nematic order in iron-based superconductors is a resistivity anisotropy but it is unclear to which extent quasiparticle dispersions, lifetimes and coherence contribute. While the lifted degeneracy of the Fe $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$ dispe
rsions has been studied extensively, only little is known about the two other factors. Here, we combine in situ strain tuning with ARPES and study the nematic response of the spectral weight in BaFe$_2$As$_2$. The symmetry analysis of the ARPES spectra demonstrates that the $d_{xz}$ band gains quasiparticle spectral weight compared to the $d_{yz}$ band for negative antisymmetric strain $Delta epsilon_{yy}$ suggesting the same response inside the nematic phase. Our results are compatible with a different coherence of the $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$ orbital within a Hunds metal picture. We also discuss the influence of orbital mixing.
