abstract = {Although the idea of a ‘cooperativity’ length scale ξ
related to the glass transition is now wide-spread, there is
much less consensus on whether this length scale can be
related to thermodynamic fluctuations and, if yes, whether
one has to consider temperature fluctuations δT. The
crucial experiment to this end has to compare values of ξ
from ‘thermodynamic’ formulae to independent values from
structural-dynamics experiments.In a seminal paper, Ernst
Donth proposed to assign a length scale to the
AC-calorimetric relaxation time using the spatial resolution
of quasielastic neutron scattering. The main problem is to
find a range of relaxation times that is accessible by both
methods. To achieve this, significant progress in the
performance of NSE as well as AC calorimetry was required.A
first experiment of this kind was realised on a
glass-forming liquid, propylene glycol (PG). The result was
that agreement with the thermodynamic calculations was
better if temperature fluctuations were accounted for.
Nevertheless, in PG the difference between the two
thermodynamic estimates is small. Therefore, a material with
a higher ‘contrast’ between the alternatives was used in
a second experiment, poly(ethylmethacrylate) (PEMA). In
addition, this experiment benefitted from the upgrade of
J-NSE with superconducting coils. The new results show a
clear agreement with the thermodynamic calculation involving
temperature fluctuations.},
