Abstract
Deformations of the charged surface of liquid He4 are studied by optical means. Near the dimple-crystal-formation point we observe saturation effects and a stripe structure exhibiting hysteresis. We discuss imperfect lattices and dimple glasses and compare data with existing theories of nonlinear equilibrium.
