Experimental and First principle calculation of Co_xNi_{(1-x)}Si solid solution structural stability

J. Teyssier, R. Viennois, J. Salamin +2

We report the investigation of the structural stability of Co${}_{(1-x)}$Ni${}_x$Si monosilicides for $0<x<1$. As CoSi crystallizes in the FeSi-type structure (B20) and NiSi is stable…
