Extended Data Fig. 7: Comparison of relaxed structures with different total energy configurations.

a, Simulated TEM images for the alternate stacking case of θ12 + θ23 = 0°, corresponding to panels (i) in Fig. 3. Grey colour corresponds to Bernal stacking and black and white colours to rhombohedral stacking. The left panel is a moiré domain pattern in the case of Bernal stacking in the ground state and the right panel shows the fully relaxed domain pattern in the case that rhombohedral stacking has a lower total energy than Bernal stacking. b, Simulated TEM images for the helical stacking case of θ12 − θ23 = 0°, corresponding to the panels (vi). The left and right panels are obtained with same conditions used in a and used same colour scheme. Scale bars, 100 nm.
