A structural transition of the crystal lattice in which a superstructure appears. It can be observed as emergence of new reflexes on diffraction patterns, e.g. , in low energy electron diffraction or X-ray diffraction experiments. Example: The transition to one of the charge density wave (CDW) states in transition metal dichalcogenides.
