Popis: We demonstrate field-induced single-ion magnetic anisotropy resulting from the multiorbital Kondo effect on diluted ytterbium alloy (Lu$_{1-x}$Yb$_x$)Rh$_2$Zn$_{20}$. Single-ion anisotropic metamagnetic behavior is revealed in low-temperature regions where the local Fermi-liquid state is formed. Specific hea, low-field magnetic susceptibility, and resistivity indicate reproduction of the ground-state properties by the SU($N =$ 8) Kondo model with a relatively large $c$-$f$ hybridization of $T_{\mathrm{K}} =$ 60.9 K. Dynamical susceptibility measurements on YbRh$_2$Zn$_{20}$ support realizing multiorbital Kondo ground state in (Lu$_{1-x}$Yb$_x$)Rh$_2$Zn$_{20}$. The single-ion magnetic anisotropy becomes evident above $\sim$ 5 T, which is lower than the isotropic Kondo crossover field of 22.7 T, verifying blurred low-lying crystal field states through the multiorbital Kondo effect.
