Abstract
We have carried out magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity meas urements on LaRhAl and CeRhAl that reveal that LaRhAl is superconducting wi th superconducting transition temperature of about 2.4 K, while CeRhAl show s mixed valent behavior of the cerium ions and is neither magnetically orde red nor superconducting down to 1.7 K.
