Cobalt germanide (CoGe) is anintermetallic compound, agermanide ofcobalt.
Cubic CoGe crystals (space group P213,cP8,a = 0.4631 nm) can be produced by processing a mixture of Co and Ge powders at a pressure of 4 GPa and a temperature of 800–1000 °C for 1 to 3 hours. They have noinversion center, and are therefore helical, with right-hand and left-handedchiralities. The cubic CoGe ismetastable, and converts into amonoclinic phase upon subsequent heating to 600 °C at ambient pressure.[1]
Cubic CoGe is anantiferromagnet with a transition temperatureTc of 132 K.[1]
