... Inelastic processes in gold and copper thin films applied on silica glass . Abstract Internal friction in gold and copper thin films applied on surface of high Q-factor silica glass resonators was investigated. ... The internal friction in the gold thin film may be significantly decreased by adding in it a second component that form solid solution with gold and improves the adhesion of the coating to silica glass. ...
