Ni ordering in the van der Waals gap of Ni-intercalated 2H-NbS${}_2$: from disorder through $2\times 2$ and $\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3}$ order to stripe order

We report a synchrotron x-ray diffraction study of Ni-intercalated 2H-NbS${}_2$ over the range $0.18\le x\le 0.57$, with Ni contents measured by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscop…
