20. Strictly speaking the concept of a displacement field u(r) describing the motion of particles around their equilibrium position in a lattice does not make sense in a liquid phase. However, as we calculate only time differences of positions the underlying lattice is an unnecessary concept and the formula can equally well be used in the liquid phase.
21. In fact, the sample shown corresponds to a crystalline phase during the equilibration process. It has been used for reasons of clarity because in the hexatic phase the appearance of other free dislocations would blur the effect.
