We have performed transition state searches on the potential energy landscape for bulk and freestanding film polymer glasses and identified connected minima. An analysis of the displacements between minima shows that the sites that undergo the greatest displacement are highly localized in space for both the bulk and the thin-film systems studied. In the case of the thin film, the clusters originate at the surface and penetrate into the center of the film thereby coupling the relaxation in the center of the film to the mobile surface layer. Furthermore, the energy barriers between minima are lower in the thin film than in the bulk system. These findings can rationalize the experimentally observed depression of the glass transition temperature in freestanding polymer films.
