A first principles phase diagram calculation, that included van der Waals interactions, was performed for the 3D bulk system (1 - <i>X</i>) · <i>MoS</i><sub>2</sub> - (<i>X</i>) · <i>MoTe</i><sub>2</sub>. Surprisingly, the predicted phase diagram has at least two ordered phases, at <i>X</i> ≈ 0:46, even though all calculated formation energies are positive; in a ground-state analysis that examined all configurations with 16 or fewer anion sites. The lower-temperature <i>I</i>-phase is predicted ...[more]
