Abstract
Nuclear-magnetic-resonance measurements in incommensurate Zn show the existence of regions where the modulation wave is floating. The floating regions coexist with other regions where the modulation wave is static. Impurity phase pinning and a roughening of the modulation wave at higher temperatures is proposed to account for these effects.
