Abstract
Polycrystalline Ce1-xLaxRhAs is investigated by means of break-junction tunneling. On Ce substituted by La (x=0.01), a pronounced hump structure is developed at the bias ±0.25 V with a shallow dip on it. The hump emergence is consistent with a drastic reduction in the resistivity. These facts give direct evidence for the appearance of mid-gap states near the Fermi energy by a small La substitution for Ce in CeRhAs.
