The Schottky barrier height at the CoSi2/Si(111) interface

Abstract
The Schottky barrier height for the CoSi2/Si(111) interface is calculated using a tight-binding theory. It is found that the barrier height is 0.55 eV for the model with fivefold-coordinated Co atoms at the interface and 0.13 eV for the model with eightfold-coordinated Co atoms at the interface.
