Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.
I have verified this for n up to 10^6, and found that a(n) = 1 for the following 67 values of n: 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 23, 29, 32, 39, 48, 68, 96, 108, 140, 144, 215, 264, 268, 324, 328, 384, 396, 404, 460, 471, 476, 500, 503, 684, 716, 759, 764, 768, 788, 860, 908, 936, 1032, 1076, 1112, 1148, 1164, 1259, 1344, 1399, 1443, 1484, 1503, 1551, 1839, 1868, 2088, 2723, 2883, 3744, 4296, 5963, 6804, 8328, 9680, 10331, 11948, 21524, 39716, 94415. It seems that a(n) = 1 for no other values of n.
It is easy to see that all the numbers phi(n^2) = n*phi(n) (n = 1,2,3,...) are pairwise distinct.
See also A262781 for a similar conjecture.
