We report single-crystal x-ray-diffraction measurements onwhich reveal a charge superstructure that appears below the density wave transitions previously observed in bulk data. From symmetry-constrained structure refinements we establish that the associated distortion mode can be described by two propagation vectorsandwith(Sb) or(As) and primarily involves in-plane displacements of the Ti atoms perpendicular to the Ti-O bonds. We also present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements, which show band folding and backbending consistent with a density wave with the same wave-vectorsandassociated with Fermi-surface nesting, and muon-spin relaxation data, which show no indication of spin density wave order. The results provide direct evidence for phonon-assisted charge density wave order inand fully characterize a proximate ordered phase that could compete with superconductivity in doped.
