New stable stoichiometries in the Co-As system are investigated up to 100 GPa by the CALYPSO structure prediction method. In particular, we found three novel stable compounds of CoAs-, CoAs-, and CoAs-2/ at high pressure. According to the theoretical electronic band structures, the structures of CoAs-, CoAs-, and CoAs-2/ have metallic characters, and a pressure-induced electronic topological transition was found in CoAs-2/, which is not shown in other stoichiometries of the Co-As system. The calculated results of the electron localization function show that there are polar covalent bond interactions between Co atoms and As atoms in CoAs- and CoAs-2/. The present results can be helpful for understanding diverse structures and properties of Co-As binary compounds under high pressure.
采用CALYPSO结构预测方法,研究了Co-As体系中高达100 GPa的新稳定化学计量比。特别地,我们发现了三种新型的高压稳定化合物CoAs-、CoAs-和CoAs-2/。根据理论电子能带结构,CoAs-、CoAs-和CoAs-2/的结构具有金属特性,并且在CoAs-2/中发现了压力诱导的电子拓扑转变,这在Co-As体系的其他化学计量比中未出现。电子定位函数的计算结果表明,CoAs-和CoAs-2/中Co原子和As原子之间存在极性共价键相互作用。目前的结果有助于理解高压下Co-As二元化合物的多样结构和性质。
