Abstract

Analysis of a model free energy shows that three distinct commensurate phases can exist in a layer of a material having the

2 H

-Ta

{Se}_{2}

structure. Recent experimental results show that two of these phases occur in

2 H

-Ta

{Se}_{2}

, with a transition between them at a temperature between 30 and 52 K.
