摘要
We have measured, as a function of the age t(a), the aging of the nonlinear dielectric susceptibility chi(3) of glycerol below the glass transition. Whereas the linear susceptibility can be accurately accounted for in terms of an age dependent relaxation time tau(alpha)(t(a)), this scaling breaks down for chi(3), suggesting an increase of the amplitude of chi(3). This is a strong indication that the number N-corr of molecules involved in relaxation events increases with t(a). For T = 0.96 x T-g, we find that N-corr increases by similar to 10% when t(a) varies from 1 to 100 ks. This sheds new light on the relation between length scales and time scales in glasses.
