Abstract

NMR spectra from 2H-TaSe2 are analyzed to obtain charge-density-wave parameters versus temperature. It is shown that there is a major orthorhombic distortion within each Se-Ta-Se layer, implying unexpectedly strong interlayer coupling. Evidence is also given for the existence of a significant interaction between discommensurations and the bulk charge-density wave, and an estimate of the width of a discommensuration is derived.
