Abstract

The orientational dynamics of organic supercooled liquids of low molecular weight confined to the geometry of porous glasses are studied by two highly related techniques, the optical method of probing the dynamics of solvation regarding a chromophoric host molecule and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. The dielectric results display marked effects of the confinement to mesopores in terms of altered structural dynamics which appear to separate into a raster and slower responses relative to the bulk liquid. We also demonstrate that there is no trivial relation between the ε*(ω) data and the liquid dynamics in these heterogeneous samples. These effects are partially paralleled by the solvation dynamics results, but with the spatial range inherent in the optical technique being inconsistent with associating the fast and slow dynamical components to spatially distinct regimes. We conclude on the slow component being a signature of non-ergodicity which arises from the competition between the length scale of cooperativity and the pore size.
