We studied the molecular dynamics and glass transition of n-alcohol confined in electrochemical etched silica nanochannels using broadband dielectric spectroscopy and neutron scattering. In contrast to the bulk alcohol confined alcohol exhibits a glass transition upon slow cooling but partial recrystallization occurs upon heating. This behaviour reflects the different temperature dependences of nucleation and crystal growth.
