Abstract
A self-consistent thermodynamic model is used to calculate the temperature dependences of the heat capacity, the thermal expansion coefficient, the bulk compression modulus, the density, Debye temperature, and the Grüneisen parameter of CoSi in the temperature range 0-1400 K. The calculation results agree well with the existing experimental data and can be used to predict the properties of CoSi in the temperature range that has not been experimentally studied. Cobalt monosilicide is shown to have a significant phonon anharmonicity, which can be caused by an electron-phonon interaction, and this anharmonicity should be taken into account in the simulation of its thermoelectric properties.
