4Hb-TaS2 has a unique layered structure, featuring a heterojunction between a 2D triangular Mott insulator and a charge density wave metal. Since a frustrated spin state in the correlated insulating layer is susceptible to charge ordering with carrier doping, it is required to investigate the charge distribution driven by interlayer charge transfer to understand its various phases. In this study, we utilize scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S) to examine the charge-ordered phases of 1T-TaS2 layers within 4Hb-TaS2, explicitly focusing on the non-half-filled regime. Our STS findings reveal an energy gap that exhibits an out-of-phase relation of the charge density. We attribute the emergence of the charge-ordered insulating phase in a doped triangular Mott insulator to the interplay between on-site and nonlocal Coulomb repulsion.
