Abstract
The temperature dependence of the soliton density derived from the dielectric data in Zn is compared with the one obtained from nuclear-magnetic-resonance measurements and x-ray scattering data. The finite value of at the "lock-in" transition and the nonzero value of below demonstrate that on cooling through a metastable chaotic state with randomly pinned solitons is reached.
