Cobalt arsenide is a binary inorganic compound of cobalt and arsenic with the chemical formula CoAs.[2][3] The compound occurs naturally as the mineral modderite.[4][5]

Physical properties

Cobalt arsenide crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pnam, parameter parameters a = 0.515 nm, b = 0.596 nm, c = 0.351 nm, Z = 4.

Cobalt arsenide is isostructural with FeAs.[6]

At approximately 6-8 GPa, single crystals of CoAs undergo a transformation to a lower-symmetry phase.[5]

Use

CoAs is used as a semiconductor and in photo optic applications.[7]
