In recent years, transition-metal dichalcogenides have attracted great interest, owing to a wide range of correlated and tunable physical phenomena. 1T-tantalum disulfide is a widely-studied model system, which exhibits a series of charge-density wave states and a strong influence of stacking on its electronic properties. Here, we present a study of the low-temperature commensurate charge density wave and its metastable states by means of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Spectroscopy (STS). We investigate the defect- and laser-induced creation and manipulation of metastable states, emphasizing the roles of translational phase boundaries and heterochirality.
