Abstract
The compression curve of CeAl 2 has been measured by X-ray diffraction up to 20 GPa. The results do not confirm the discontinuous valence transition that had been reported to occur near 6.5 GPa. Comparison with the normal trivalent compound LaAl 2 reveals an anomalous softening of the CeAl 2 lattice extending over the entire pressure range.
