Abstract
The temperature variation of the phase soliton density has been determined in Zn and a nonclassical critical exponent ½ has been found. Electron-paramagnetic-resonance and nuclear-magnetic-resonance data demonstrate that in Se, Zn, and Zn the soliton width is large as compared to the intersoliton spacing over most of the incommensurate phase so that the continuum description is adequate.
