Maps of reconstructed domains in triangular tips of R-type (a) and H-type (d) heterostacks with a twist angle theta = 0.4° (only triangle halves are shown in the projections; the scale bars are 200 nm). The top maps show moire patterns without reconstruction (delimited by dashed lines from the moire core of the HBL), whereas the maps below show periodic reconstruction and mesoscopically reconstructed domain patterns obtained for different zero-twist deformations around the points marked by black dots at dimensionless positions alpha (note that the orange R_h^X and green R_h^M domains can interconvert due to similar adhesion energies 35).
