Symmetry, dimensionality, and disorder play a
pivotal role in critical phenomena. The atomic
imaging capabilities of the scanning tunneling
microscope were used to directly visualize the
interaction between charge density oscillations
and lattice defects in a two-dimensional charge
density wave (CDW) system. Point defects act as
nucleation centers of the CDW, which, as the
temperature is lowered, results in the formation
of pinned CDW domains that are separated by
atomically abrupt charge boundaries. Incomplete
freezing of substitutional disorder at low
temperature indicates a novel CDW-mediated
hopping of pinning centers.
