Abstract
Alloys of cobalt and arsenic containing up to 60% As by weight have been studied by means of room temperature and high temperature Debye–Scherrer diagrams. Two compounds exist at room temperature, Co2As and CoAs, both of which undergo crystallographic transformations at higher temperatures, the former between 400 °C. and 500 °C., the latter at about 950 °C. A third compound, probably Co3AS2, is formed by the reaction of Co2As with CoAs above 940 °C. The structures of these compounds are compared with the structures of the corresponding compounds in the iron/arsenic system. These results indicate the necessity of slight revisions to the Co/As diagram, and raise serious questions in respect of the validity of decomposition pressure data reported recently for cobalt arsenides.
