Abstract
An extensive X-ray diffraction study of charge density wave (CDW) phase in (TaSe4)2I is reported. We have observed the superstructure satellites at 2q in addition to those at q reported by Fujishita et al. The results imply a sinusoidal lattice modulation with polarization almost perpendicular to q (i.e. transverse) and the existence of CDW domains. At 15 K we have extracted an approximate value for the amplitude of the lattice modulation perpendicular to q to be μ⊥ {reversed tilde} 0.087 Å.
