Extended Data Fig. 2: Evidence for a two-domain NC-CDW phase.
From: Dynamic phase transition in 1T-TaS2 via a thermal quench
a. Reciprocal space maps parallel to the [HK0] plane (δL = .5, L = 0) at T= 300 K for an as-grown sample. b. Reciprocal space maps parallel to the [HK0] plane (δL = .5, L = 0) at T= 300 K after a quench. Red and blue markers highlight the original NC-CDW and the second set of satellite peaks that emerge after the quench, respectively. Green dashed lines highlight the a* and b* directions. c. Reciprocal space map parallel to the [H0L] plane for the as-grown sample (δK =.15, K= 0). d. Reciprocal space map parallel to the [H0L] plane for the quenched sample (δK =.15, K= 0). Red and blue arrows point to two sets of out-of-plane Bragg peaks corresponding to the NC-CDW. The L dependence and central value of these peaks are different than those seen in the mixed phase sample for the H- CDW phase.
