• Spectrum simulation of rough and nanostructured targets from their 2D and 3D image by Monte Carlo methods 

    Schiettekatte, François; Chicoine, Martin (2015-09)
    Corteo is a program that implements Monte Carlo (MC) method to simulate ion beam analysis (IBA) spectra of several techniques by following the ions trajectory until a sufficiently large fraction of them reach the detector to generate a spectrum. Hence, ...
  • Zirconia-titania-doped tantala optical coatings for low mechanical loss Bragg mirrors 

    Lalande, Émile; Lussier, Alexandre W.; Lévesque, Carl; Ward, Marianne; Baloukas, Bill; Martinu, Ludvik; Gabriele, Vajente; Billingsley, Garilynn; Ananyeva, Alena; Bassiri, Riccardo; Fejer, Martin M.; Schiettekatte, François (American Vacuum Society, 2021-06-10)
    The noise caused by internal mechanical dissipation in the high refractive index amorphous thin films in dielectric mirrors is an important limitation for gravitational wave detection. The objective of this study is to decrease this noise spectral ...
