Abstract

In this paper we report the cohesion energy curves for different CoSi2 structures calculated by a semiempirical tight binding scheme. We set up a stability hierarchy among them and provide a kinetic model which could explain very recent and apparently contradictory Molecular Beam Epitaxy findings concerning the stability of a new pseudomorphic phase, i.e. the defected CsCl.
