Electronic enhancements in the detection of gravitational waves by metallic antennae

For mechanical Weber gravitational wave antennae, it is thought that gravity waves are weakly converted into acoustic vibrations. Acoustic vibrations in metals (such as Aluminum) are experimentally known to be attenuated by the creation of electron-hole pairs described via the electronic viscosity....
