Improving the mechanical quality factor of ultra-low-loss silicon resonators
TL;DR: In this article, a silicon mechanical resonator with a very high quality factor at liquid helium temperatures is found to have two energy loss mechanisms which can be removed with a 3'h anneal at 300'°C.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present examples from the joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo GW searches to show how well noise transients and narrow spectral lines have been identified and excluded from the Virgo data.

Investigation of the Young's modulus and thermal expansion of amorphous titania-doped tantala films
TL;DR: In this paper, the Young's modulus and thermal expansion of tantala coatings as a function of heat treatment and titania-doping were measured using nanoindentation and thermal bending techniques.

Manipulation of Glassy State in Amorphous Selenium by Low-temperature Internal Friction Measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the thickness and quench-rate dependent internal friction of amorphous selenium (a-Se) thin films deposited at room temperature was studied, and it was shown that a faster quench rate freezes a-Se to a lower density structure with a higher TLS density and vice versa.
