Abstract
The large anomaly in the Youngs modulus in the commensurate phase of 2H-TaSe2 is attributed to a redistribution of the sizes of the orthorhombic domains. The restoring force against the redistribution is proportional to the domain-wall, or partial discommensuration energy and tends to zero as the commensurate-incommensurate transition is approached. The electrical response of 2H-TaSe2 does not show the anomalous behavior seen in other systems. Very recently however the increase in the resistance due to discommensurations has been identified experimentally.
