New directions for gravitational wave physics via "Millikan oil drops"
Raymond Y. Chiao
"Millikan oil drops" are drops of superfluid helium coated with electrons, and levitated in a strong, inhomogeneous magnetic field. When the temperature of the system becomes very…
Laboratory-Scale Superconducting Mirrors for Gravitational Microwaves
Raymond Chiao, Stephen Minter, Kirk Wegter-McNelly
When a gravitational wave at microwave frequencies impinges on a thin, type I superconducting film, the radical delocalization of the film's negatively charged Cooper pairs, which…
Do Mirrors for Gravitational Waves Exist?
Stephen J. Minter, Kirk Wegter-McNelly, Raymond Y. Chiao
Thin superconducting films are predicted to be highly reflective mirrors for gravitational waves at microwave frequencies. The quantum mechanical non-localizability of the negative…
