Abstract
The structure of the Til+xS2 materials (around x=0.20) is investigated from the metallic sublattice point of view. The diffuse scattering observations previously reported are interpreted within a two-dimensional approximation. A microdomain model is proposed to account for the titanium atom two-dimensional order and its composition dependence. A computer simulation of the diffuse scattering intensity is used to test the validity of the model.
