Abstract
Evidence is provided to show that the penta–hepta defect in a Bénard convective hexagonal lattice arises as a result of the attraction of two dislocations having opposite topological charges and belonging to different modes. The dislocations approach each other along a corridor connecting those topological charges. Fields of long–living penta–hepta defects have been analyzed. The comparison of experimental results with recent numerical calculations and solutions obtained analytically shows good qualitative agreement.
