Optical and mechanical properties of ion-beam-sputtered MgF thin films for gravitational-wave interferometers
M. Granata, A. Amato, M. Bischi +14
Brownian thermal noise associated with highly reflective coatings is a fundamental limit for several precision experiments, including gravitational-wave detectors. Research is curr…
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…
Exploration of co-sputtered TaO-ZrO thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
M. Abernathy, A. Amato, A. Ananyeva +45
We report on the development and extensive characterization of co-sputtered tantala-zirconia thin films, with the goal to decrease coating Brownian noise in present and future grav…
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…
Replenish and relax: explaining logarithmic annealing in disordered materials
Laurent Karim Béland, Yonathan Anahory, Dries Smeets +7
Fatigue and aging of materials are, in large part, determined by the evolution of the atomic-scale structure in response to strains and perturbations. This coupling between microsc…
Evolution of the potential-energy surface of amorphous silicon
Houssem Kallel, Normand Mousseau, François Schiettekatte
The link between the energy surface of bulk systems and their dynamical properties is generally difficult to establish. Using the activation-relaxation technique (ART nouveau), we…
