Abstract
We report the results of the electrical resistivity and the low-temper ature specific heat measurements of CoSi2 single crystals in the norma l metallic state and superconducting regime. The results show that CoS i2 is truly a noble-metal compound as suggested by photoemission exper iments and band-structure calculations. A significant point is that th e superconductivity of this noble-metal compound can be described by t he BCS theory.
