Temperature changes in thin-film Ge:Mn spin-glass dynamics are introduced that reflect temperature chaos (TC) when the spin-glass correlation length $ξ (t, T)$ grows to its thickness $L$ . For small $L \approx 15.5$ nm, the transition to chaos takes place over a temperature range $Δ T$ sufficiently large to exhibit both reversible and chaotic behavior. The value of $Δ T$ can be related to the critical exponent for TC, $ζ$ . Experimentally, $ζ$ is found to be $\approx 1.06$ , in the range of recent simulations. The presence of a specific length scale $L$ allows the transition to chaos to be examined over measurable laboratory temperature changes. The transition is found to be abrupt. Bulk materials, with a distribution of crystallite sizes, will smear out the transition, ending in a very slow crossover. The abruptness of the transition and its nature are compared with recent theoretical calculations.
