Abstract

X-ray intensity measurements have been performed on the structure of the layered compound CoxNbS2 single crystals (x≤0.5) at room temperature. The c-axis lattice parameter changes discontinuously at around x=0.2 and remains constant with further increase of the Co content. For the lower content of Co atoms (x 0.4) is discussed with considering both the position of the Co atoms and their occupation rate.
