Heavy fermion metals hosting multipolar local moments set a new stage for exploring exotic spin–orbital entangled quantum phases. In such systems, the quadrupolar Kondo effect serves as the key ingredient in the orbital-driven non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior and quantum critical phenomena. The cubic heavy fermion superconductor PrTr₂Al₂₀ (Tr: Ti, V) is a prime candidate for realizing the quadrupolar Kondo lattice. Here, we present a systematic study of the NFL phenomena in PrV₂Al₂₀ based on magnetoresistance (MR), magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements. Upon entering the NFL regime, we observe a universal scaling behavior expected for the quadrupolar Kondo lattice in PrV₂Al₂₀, which indicates a prominent role of the quadrupolar Kondo effect in driving the NFL behavior. Deviations from this scaling relation occur below ~8 K, accompanied by a sign change in the MR and a power-law divergence in the specific heat. Furthermore, this anomalous low-temperature state points to the presence of other mechanisms which are not included in the theory, such as heavy fermion coherence or multipolar quantum critical fluctuations.
