Optical and Electrical Properties of Diamond-like-Carbon Coatings Prepared by Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Beam Deposition Process
Callum Wiseman, Marwa Ben Yaala, Chalisa Gier +5
Diamond-like carbon thin films have emerged as durable, chemically stable optical coatings for many optical and optoelectronics applications due to their hardness, chemical inertne…
Ion Energy Tuning for Enhanced sp3 Carbon Fraction in Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Beam Deposited Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings: a Computational and Experimental Approach
Callum Wiseman, Marwa Ben Yaala Chalisa Gier, Laurent Marot +3
A novel high-energy electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion beam deposition (IBD) technique was used to fabricate DLC films at different ion beam energies. The ratios of sp2/sp3 bon…
3G R&D: R&D for the Next Generation of Ground-based Gravitational-wave Detectors
David McClelland, Harald Lueck, Rana Adhikari +43
To deliver on the promise of next generation gravitational-wave observatories, a sustained and coordinated detector research and development program is required. This report examin…
On the mechanical quality factors of cryogenic test masses from fused silica and crystalline quartz
Anja Schroeter, Ronny Nawrodt, Roman Schnabel +11
Current interferometric gravitational wave detectors (IGWDs) are operated at room temperature with test masses made from fused silica. Fused silica shows very low absorption at the…
A hypothesis testing framework for the ratio of means of two negative binomial distributions: classifying the efficacy of anthelmintic treatment against intestinal parasites
Matthew Denwood, Giles Innocent, Jamie Prentice +9
Over-dispersed count data typically pose a challenge to analysis using standard statistical methods, particularly when evaluating the efficacy of an intervention through the observ…
Gravitational Wave Detection by Interferometry (Ground and Space)
Matthew Pitkin, Stuart Reid, Sheila Rowan +1
Significant progress has been made in recent years on the development of gravitational wave detectors. Sources such as coalescing compact binary systems, neutron stars in low-mass…
