contents The Grüneisen ratio $Γ$ and its magnetic analog, the magnetic Grüneisen ratio $Γ_H$, are powerful probes to study the nature of quantum phase transitions. Here, we propose a Grüneisen parameter, the rotational Grüneisen ratio $Γ_ϕ$, by introducing the orientation of the external field as a control parameter. We investigate $Γ_ϕ$ of the highly anisotropic paramagnets CeRhSn and CeIrSn by measuring the rotational magnetocaloric effect in a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields. We find that the $Γ_ϕ$ data of both compounds are scaled by using the same critical exponents and the field-invariant critical field angle. Remarkably, the scaling function for the $Γ_ϕ$ data reveals the presence of highly anisotropic quantum criticality that develops as a function of the easy-axis component of the magnetic field from the quantum critical line. This paper provides a thermodynamic approach to detect and identify magnetic quantum criticality in highly anisotropic systems.
