Physical properties
editCobalt 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
editCoAs is used as a semiconductor and in photo optic applications.[7]
