Cobalt Silicide (CoSi2) is a transition metal disilicide that has gathered scientific interest due to its interesting thermoelectric properties and applications in silicon-based devices because of their high temperature stability. It has been reported that CoSi2 undergoes a phase transition at around 0.4 GPa and again at 13 GPa. Furthermore, at 13 GPa the material changes from a cubic cell to an orthorhombic cell, but details of the phase transition at 0.4 GPa could not be determined. To further study the properties of CoSi2 and understand its pressure induced phase changes, we recorded the structural behavior of CoSi2 under pressure.
