a Experimental TEM diffraction data for representative WTe2 and MoTe2 flakes taken at room temperature and at ~17 K. For the WTe2 data, the dotted white circle marks the first-order Laue zone. b Diffraction spot intensity as a function of momentum transfer, Q, for WTe2 and MoTe2. The vertical dashed line marks the first-order Laue Zone for both 1T′ and Td phases. c Schematic of a random stacking sequence (Rnd) versus our Td-Rnd model, which lacks long-range order but possesses short-range Td order. The brackets highlight local Td domains.
