A photobleaching method was used to measure the reorientation of dilute probes in liquid o-terphenyl near a crystal growth front. Near the glass-transition temperature T-g, mobility in the supercooled liquid was enhanced within similar to 10 mu m of the crystal growth front, by as much as a factor of 4. This enhanced mobility appears to be caused by tension created in the sample as a result of the density difference between the supercooled liquid and crystal. The maximum observed mobility enhancement corresponds to a tension of about -8 MPa, close to the cavitation limit for liquid o-terphenyl. Whereas the observed mobility near the growing crystal is not large enough to explain the extraordinary fast crystal growth observed near T-g in o-terphenyl and some other low-molecular-weight glassformers, these observations suggest that cavitation or fracture plays a key role in releasing tension and allowing fast crystal growth to occur at a steady rate.
