Abstract
Stacks of amorphous oxide mixtures and SiO2 conform the interference coatings of current gravitational wave detectors (GWD). This talk will discuss a comprehensive study of amorphous oxide mixtures and nanolaminates that has led to the identification of a new alloy, TiO2 doped GeO2 which is a promising material to engineer next generation coatings for gravitational wave detectors with lower coating thermal noise.
