abstract = {By neutron spin echo spectroscopy, we have studied the
center of mass motion of short tracer chains on the
molecular length scale within a highly entangled polymer
matrix. The center of mass mean square displacements of the
tracers independent of their molecular weight is
subdiffusive at short times until it has reached the size of
the tube d; then, a crossover to Fickian diffusion takes
place. This observation cannot be understood within the tube
model of reptation, but is rationalized as a result of
important interchain couplings that lead to cooperative
chain motion within the entanglement volume ∼d3. Thus, the
cooperative tracer chain motions are limited by the tube
size d. If the center of mass displacement exceeds this
size, uncorrelated Fickian diffusion takes over. Compared to
the prediction of the Rouse model we observe a significantly
reduced contribution of the tracer’s internal modes to the
spectra corroborating the finding of cooperative rather than
Rouse dynamics within d3.},
