Abstract
Starting with the energy functional of the charge density wave, the distribution of phase distortions due to impurities coupling strongly to the charge density wave phase is calculated. The inclusion of interference effects of different impurities allows an estimation of the phase coherence length. The results are found to be consistent with those obtained by the phenomenological ansatz of individual pinning.
