In-plane local arrangements of Ag atoms in the stage-2 intercalation compound Ag_0.15TiS₂

In-plane local arrangements of Ag atoms in the stage-2 intercalation compound Ag_0.15TiS₂ are visualized by the Monte Carlo simulation technique with the use of two-dimensional short-range order parameters. Microregions of the 3^1/2× 3^1/2 R30° in-plane ordered arrangement become more numerous with decreasing temperature, while the numbers of the other possible ordered arrangements do not depend on temperature.
