Studies of the mechanical dissipation of thin films for mirrors in interferometric gravitational wave detectors
Einstein's General Theory of Relativity predicts the existence of gravitational waves, which are fluctuations in the curvature of space-time, which propagate at the speed of light. Gravitational waves arise from the asymmetric acceleration of mass. While these waves have not been directly detec...
