  Resumo: Franckeite is a natural superlattice composed of two alternating layers of different composition which has shown potential for optoelectronic applications. In part, the interest in franckeite lies in its layered nature which makes it easy to exfoliate into very thin heterostructures. Not surprisingly, its chemical composition and lattice structure are so complex that franckeite has escaped screening protocols and high-throughput searches of materials with nontrivial topological properties. On the basis of density functional theory calculations, we predict a quantum phase transition originating from stoichiometric changes in one of franckeite composing layers (the quasihexagonal one). While for large concentrations of Sb franckeite is a sequence of type-II semiconductor heterojunctions, for a large concentration of Sn, these turn into type-III, much like InAs/GaSb artificial heterojunctions, and franckeite becomes a strong topological insulator. Transmission electron microscopy observations confirm that such a phase transition may actually occur in nature.
