The aim of this work consisted in the study of the mechanical losses of potential substrate materials for future cryogenic interferometric gravitational wave detectors to reduce the thermal noise of their optical components. Interferometric gravitational wave detectors (IGWDs) are among the instruments with the highest sensitivity ever built. To increase the detection probability and also to gain a deeper look in the universe by establishing a gravitational wave astronomy a further enhancement of sensitivity is inevitable. A main noise source to be reduced is the thermal noise of the optical components like mirrors and beam splitter. A very promising approach for a reduction of thermal noise is to deprive thermal energy by decreasing the op...
