Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of the mechanical Q of single-crystal silicon at low temperatures
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical quality factor of a single crystal of silicon vs. temperature was measured at T = 3.5K and a value of 2 × 109 was obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux gradient accelerometer: Tests on a working model
TL;DR: In this article, a flux gradient accelerometer was used as a transducer for a low-temperature gravitational wave detector, which was found to respond as predicted by a simple harmonic oscillator model with sensitivity nearly equal to the sensitivity calculated theoretically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of oxygen impurities in single-crystal silicon by means of internal friction
C. C. Lam,D. H. Douglass +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two new internal friction peaks have been observed in single-crystal silicon in the temperature range from 100 to 270 K of the Arrhenius-type relaxation at kilohertz frequencies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first detailed report of the Rochester cryogenic resonant gravitational wave detector (RGV) and calculate the values of the physical parameters needed to achieve a competitive ultimate sensitivity.
