Tetrahedrite materials with a nominal Ti substitution content of x = 0.0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 are synthesized via a low-cost and scalable polyol method using posterior annealing, pressing, and sintering treatments. X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy confirm that the solid solutions contain nanocrystallites with sizes ranging from ∼60 to ∼65 nm, which possess a single tetrahedrite phase. The replacement of Ti at Cu sites induces convoluted changes in the lattice parameter, unit cell volume, coherent scattering domains, and levels of macrodeformations, macrostresses, and dislocations.

Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis indicate that the tetrahedrites comprise grains with sizes ranging from ∼70 to ∼200 nm with homogeneous distribution of constituent elements and closeness to stoichiometric composition.

In this work, we investigate the electronic, optical, and thermodynamic properties of the newly identified van der Waals multiferroic material NiI<sub>2</sub> using <em>ab-initio</em> calculations, focusing on the impact of applied pressure on its properties. From an electronic perspective, NiI<sub>2</sub> undergoes a transition from a semiconductor (1.1 eV) to a metallic state at 25 GPa due to pressure-induced modifications of the electronic structure, particularly the hybridization of Ni 3d and I 5p orbitals. The study also investigates the anisotropic behavior of NiI<sub>2</sub> under pressure, the transition occurring at 15 GPa along the <em>ab-plane</em> and at 13 GPa along the <em>c-axis</em>. This demonstrates the material's distinct response to pressure in different crystallographic directions. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the magnetic properties of NiI<sub>2</sub> was also examined, revealing a reinforcement of antiferromagnetic interactions with increasing pressure. Moreover, significant enhancements are observed in the material's optical characteristics, particularly in its optical conductivity, the material exhibits an increase from 1221 (Ω cm)<sup>−1</sup> at 0 GPa to 2169 (Ω cm)<sup>−1</sup> at 9 GPa.

Interestingly, the static refractive index also shows a significant enhancement, increasing from 3.6 under ambient pressure to 4.2 at 9 GPa. These changes are attributed to structural modifications and increased electron delocalization. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis, including heat capacity and entropy, provides key insights into the material's behavior under pressure. The heat capacity increases linearly with temperature, following the Dulong-Petit law, while the normalized heat capacity exhibits a peak that is in line with a magnetic phase transition at around 59 K, a peak that shifts with pressure.

The emergence of topological heterojunction can result in a p-n junction at the interfaces having a strong crucial potential barrier that enhances the photodetection capabilities of topological insulators. This study enlightens the successful fabrication and characterization of a novel heterojunction photodetector based on topological insulator p-TlBiSe<sub>2</sub>/n-ITO, demonstrated remarkable photodetection abilities across a wide spectral range from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR). The unique topological properties of TlBiSe<sub>2</sub>, combined with the excellent conductivity of ITO, contribute to enhanced responsivity and detectivity. Detailed analysis revealed high photodetection performance, with strong spectral responsivity, external quantum efficiency, and fast response time in detecting wavelengths ranging from 200 nm to 1000 nm, The high value of responsivity 1357 A/W and impressive detectivity value of <span><math><mrow><mn>2.89</mn><mo>×</mo><msup><mn>10</mn><mn>12</mn></msup></mrow></math></span> Jones makes this heterojunction highly suitable for applications requiring broad-spectrum detection.
