Low mechanical loss TiO:GeO coatings for reduced thermal noise in Gravitational Wave Interferometers
Gabriele Vajente, Le Yang, Aaron Davenport +11
The sensitivity of current and planned gravitational wave interferometric detectors is limited, in the most critical frequency region around 100 Hz, by a combination of quantum noi…
Comprehensive study of amorphous metal oxide and TaO-based mixed oxide coatings for gravitational-wave detectors
Mariana A. Fazio, Gabriele Vajente, Le Yang +2
High finesse optical cavities of current interferometric gravitational-wave detectors are significantly limited in sensitivity by laser quantum noise and coating thermal noise. The…
Enhanced Medium Range Order in Vapor Deposited Germania Glasses at Elevated Temperatures
Le Yang, Gabriele Vajente, Mariana Fazio +9
Glasses are nonequilibrium solids with properties highly dependent on their method of preparation. In vapor-deposited molecular glasses, structural organization could be readily tu…
Structural evolution of binary oxide nanolaminates with annealing and its impact on room-temperature internal friction
Le Yang, Mariana Fazio, Gabriele Vajente +6
Internal friction in oxide thin films imposes a critical limitation to the sensitivity and stability of ultra-high finesse optical cavities for gravitational wave detectors. Strate…
Prediction of crystallized phases of amorphous TaO-based mixed oxide thin films using density functional theory calculations
Mariana Fazio, Le Yang, Carmen S. Menoni
The genomics approach to materials, heralded by increasingly accurate density functional theory (DFT) calculations conducted on thousands of crystalline compounds, has led to accel…
A method for the experimental measurement of bulk and shear loss angles in amorphous thin films
Gabriele Vajente, Mariana Fazio, Le Yang +4
Brownian thermal noise is a limiting factor for the sensitivity of many high precision metrology applications, among other gravitational-wave detectors. The origin of Brownian nois…
