Mirror suspension noise is one of the biggest factors limiting the sensitivity of current gravitational wave detectors. This problem can possibly be overcome by using amorphous metals for making the suspensions. The idea is to take advance of the glassy metal high yield strength and fracture toughness to manufacture extremely thin (few micron) flex joints that store infinitesimal amounts of elastic energy and thus lead to lower dissipation and fluctuation of the mirror pendular motion. One of the most promising compositions available seems to be (Mo0.6Ru0.4)1-xBx alloy, which due to its superior physical properties can help reduce the suspension thermal noise. We investigate the physical properties for the amorphous regime (x = 12 to x=24) by altering the Boron atomic percentage in the material. My work involves the production of the alloy itself and particularly the investigation of its properties such as hardness (by the Vickers hardness test), Yield point and critical length. These results will help determine the most appropriate composition to be used for the suspensions. |
