abstract = {In this talk I will give an overview of what quasielastic
and inelastic neutron scattering can contribute to the
question of an immanent length scale of the dynamics in
glass-forming liquids. In the first part, I will present
experiments where the problem is tackled by confining the
liquids to a size similar to that of the presumed length
scale. It turns out that effects are visible but overlayed
by an interfacial deceleration of the dynamics which makes
it difficult to interpret the results unambiguously. These
effects can be reduced by the use of ‘soft’ confinement
where the interface is not rigid. In addition to the effect
on the main (α) relaxation, the vibrational spectrum scan
be studied in the glassy state. The latter experiments may
hint at the origin of the so-called ‘boson peak’. In the
second part of the talk, I will present a more recently
proposed method to determine the length scale from a
combination of quasielastic neutron scattering with dynamic
calorimetry. In contrast to the former approach, this works
in the bulk but is experimentally challenging because of the
seemingly disparate dynamic ranges of the methods. The
results indicate that it is necessary to consider
temperature fluctuations in the thermodynamical treatment of
such systems.},
