Effect of heat treatment on mechanical dissipation in TaO coatings
I W Martin, R Bassiri, R Nawrodt +14
Thermal noise arising from mechanical dissipation in dielectric reflective coatings is expected to critically limit the sensitivity of precision measurement systems such as high-re…

Investigation of mechanical losses of thin silicon flexures at low temperatures
R. Nawrodt, C. Schwarz, S. Kroker +15
The investigation of the mechanical loss of different silicon flexures in a temperature region from 5 to 300 K is presented. The flexures have been prepared by different fabricatio…

Potential mechanical loss mechanisms in bulk materials for future gravitational wave detectors
D Heinert, A Grib, K Haughian +8
Low mechanical loss materials are needed to further decrease thermal noise in upcoming gravitational wave detectors. We present an analysis of the contribution of Akhieser and ther…
