Superconductor LaRhAs has the same crystal structures as CeRhAs, which exhibits superconducting (SC) multiphase in the -axis magnetic field. Although the SC transition temperatures are similar, around 0.3 K, LaRhAs shows conventional type-II superconductivity with a small upper critical field 10 mT. At present, the SC properties of LaRhAs have not been clarified yet. We performed As-nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on LaRhAs to investigate the SC properties and gap structure. shows a clear coherence peak just below and an exponential decrease at lower temperatures, suggesting full-gap -wave superconductivity. The numerical calculations based on an -wave SC model reveal an SC gap size of , consistent with the weak-coupling -wave superconductivity. These results suggest that the 4 electrons in CeRhAs not only enhance the orbital limiting field but also contribute to the formation of unconventional superconductivity with SC multiphase.
