Topological defects and structure factor data for the Bragg and vortex glass phases of Bi\({}_{2}\)Sr\({}_{2}\)CaCu\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{8+\delta }\) vortex matter at the surface of the samples. a Fraction of non-sixfold coordinated vortices, \({\rho }_{{\rm{def}}}\), as a function of the magnetic field normalized by the order–disorder transition field, \(B/{B}_{{\rm{ord-dis}}}\). The standard error of the mean is within the size of the points. b Structure factor \({S}_{{\rm{MD}}}(q,\Psi)\) of the vortex structure observed by magnetically decorating the individual vortex positions in pristine P and electron-irradiated A and B samples
