NiTe2(Nickel Telluride) Color and Physical PropertiesBulk nickel ditelluride (NiTe) is a typical transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with a stoichiometric ratio of 1: 2, classified as a layered metallic compound. It crystallizes in the CdI type structure (space group P 3m1, No. 164), where each Ni atom is octahedrally coordinated by six Te atoms, forming TeNiTe sandwich like layers stacked together via van der Waals interactions. In appearance, bulk NiTe exhibits a silvery gray metallic luster and
