We report a study of 139La(I=7/2) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to investigate the structuralphase transition in the two caged compounds LaIr2Zn20 and LaRu2Zn20 from microscopic viewpoints. The former compound shows a second-order structural phase transition around Ts = 200 Kwhereas the latter one shows a first-order structural phase transition at Ts = 150 K. For both compounds,quite narrow La-NMR lines of less that 10 kHz without any electric field gradient (EFG) atthe La site were observed at temperatures above Ts, indicating that the local symmetry at the Lasite holds a cubic symmetry. On the other hand, an EFG at La site appears at temperatures belowTs, evidencing symmetry lowering occurs at the La site at temperatures below Ts. At temperaturesaround Ts, both the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) and the nuclear spin-spin relaxationrate (1/T2) show unusual enhancements associated with the slowing down of the EFG fluctuations. However, the temperature dependences of 1/T1T and 1/T2 are different from the typical slowingdownphenomena of the EFG fluctuations due to the classical motional narrowing. The lowering ofthe local symmetry at the La site is ascribed to a freezing of the rattling motion.
