In-plane local arrangements of Ag atoms in the stage-2 intercalation compound Ag0.15TiS2 are visualized by the Monte Carlo simulation technique with the use of two-dimensional short-range order parameters. Microregions of the 31/2× 31/2 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.
