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. Moreover, the crystalline quality of the tetrahedrites is observed to depend on Ti substitution content. 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. Ti substitution decreases the electrical conductivity and increases Seebeck coefficient because of hole concentration reduction caused by Ti⁴⁺ substitution at Cu¹⁺/Cu²⁺ sites. The power factor slightly decreases with increased Ti content; however, electronic thermal conductivity notably reduces by two times in comparison to pure tetrahedrite.

In this work, we investigate the electronic, optical, and thermodynamic properties of the newly identified van der Waals multiferroic material NiI₂ using <em>ab-initio</em> calculations, focusing on the impact of applied pressure on its properties. From an electronic perspective, NiI₂ 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 NiI₂ 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 NiI₂ 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)⁻¹ at 0 GPa to 2169 (Ω cm)⁻¹ at 9 GPa. Similarly, the absorption coefficient spectrum improves from 1.2 × 10⁵ cm⁻¹ at 0 GPa to 1.8 × 10⁵ cm⁻¹ at 9 GPa, around 2 eV. 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.
