We succeeded in growing high-quality single crystals of the pyrite-type cubic compounds CoSe<sub>2</sub>and CoS<sub>2</sub>using the transport agent CoBr<sub>2</sub>and measured the electrical resistivity, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, and de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) effect. We confirmed that CoSe<sub>2</sub>is an exchange-enhanced paramagnet revealing a broad maximum at around 50 K in the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility. The electronic specific heat coefficient is moderately large, γ = 18 mJ/(K<sup>2</sup>·mol). On the other hand, CoS<sub>2</sub>is a ferromagnet with a Curie temperature <italic>T</italic><sub>C</sub>= 122 K and an ordered moment μ<sub>s</sub>= 0.93 μ<sub>B</sub>/Co. The γ of 21 mJ/(K<sup>2</sup>·mol) of CoS<sub>2</sub>is slightly larger than that of CoSe<sub>2</sub>. A large ordered moment, together with a large γ, is characteristic of CoS<sub>2</sub>because CoS<sub>2</sub>is a half-metallic spin state in the ferromagnetic state. Correspondingly, we detected a main dHvA branch with a large cyclotron effective mass of 13<italic>m</italic><sub>0</sub>in the dHvA experiments. The detected dHvA branches in CoS<sub>2</sub>and CoSe<sub>2</sub>are discussed on the basis of the results of energy band calculations, revealing a broken fourfold symmetry in the angular dependence of the dHvA frequency.

We grew single crystals of ullmannite NiSbS and PbBiSe with the cubic chiral structure and carried out electrical resistivity, specific heat, and de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) experiments to clarify their Fermi surface properties. The Fermi surfaces were found to split into two, reflecting the non-centrosymmetric crystal structure. The splitting energies between the two nearly spherical electron Fermi surfaces named α and α′ were determined as 220 K in NiSbS and 1050 K in PdBiSe for <italic>H</italic>|| [100] or [001]. This difference in splitting energies between the two compounds originates mainly from the fact that the spin–orbit interactions of Ni-3<italic>d</italic>, Sb-5<italic>p</italic>, and S-3<italic>p</italic>electrons in NiSbS are smaller in magnitude than those of Pd-4<italic>d</italic>, Bi-6<italic>p</italic>, and Se-4<italic>p</italic>electrons in PdBiSe, respectively.
