Based on ab initio calculation, we propose a new structure for the fundamental excitation of the reconstructed 30$^\circ$ partial dislocation in silicon. This soliton has a rare structure involving a five-fold coordinated atom near the dislocation core. The unique electronic structure of this defect is consistent with the electron spin resonance signature of the hitherto enigmatic thermally stable R center of plastically deformed silicon. This identification suggests the possibility of an experimental determination of the density of solitons, a key defect in understanding the plastic flow of the material.
