91. 103 However, a caveat should be mentioned here. Our strength index is determined from high-T data where the curvature of the relaxation time in an Arrhenius plot is fairly pronounced. Thus, we may expect D to change, i.e., to increase, if the simulations could be extended to much lower T.

97. Equivalent circuit models involving systems of capacitors are commonly employed in the interpretation of dielectric properties of inhomogeneous systems having a layered structure with true interfaces (see e.g. Chapter 13 of ref 87 or ref 104). In the context of glass-forming polymer films, the idea of associating layers of the film, which are not separated by true interfaces, with ideal capacitors (i.e., with zero resistances at the electrodes) is presumably correctly attributed to ref 53. The assumption of ideal capacitors is justified because contributions to dielectric spectra from the resistance at the top and bottom electrodes can be removed by a substration procedure (cf. refs 21 and 28), and there is of course no resistance between the layers inside the film as the layers are not separated by true polymer-electrode interfaces.

101. The smoothness of this crossover seems hard to reconcile with a layer model, an often invoked interpretation for the relaxation of confined glass-forming liquids (see e.g. refs 58, 59, 106, and 107). This model assumes the coexistence of layers-typically one or two interfacial layers and an inner layei-with distinct mobilities (see e.g. ref 26 for a topical discussion of such models).
