Helical jumps in poly(ethylene oxide), which are the molecular processes underlying the intracrystalline chain diffusion, are studied on the microseconds to milliseconds time scale by means of NMR. Using a simple proton time-domain technique, a wide range of melt-crystallized morphologies is investigated ranging from extended chain crystals of short chains to crystals with disordered fold surfaces of longer chains up to 190 kg/mol. From variable-temperature data we directly determine the Arrhenius activation parameters and find that the activation energy is always around 65 kJ/mol. At a given temperature, average correlation times vary from sample to sample over about 1 decade and increase approximately linearly with the lamellar thickness. The observed linear relation is reproduced by a generic Monte Carlo simulation model implementing a mechanism of diffusing defects. The experimental results are compared to 1D carbon-13 MAS exchange NMR (CODEX) and proton rotating-frame relaxation (R-1p) data, for which we highlight the challenges and significant bias effects arising from the significant distribution of correlation times. Effective spin-diffusion averaging of the proton R1p demonstrates that monomers with different jump dynamics are spatially close; i.e., they coexist in neighboring stems.
