Growing crystals better

At the QO lab, we believe growth is fundamental to science. Especially when it concerns crystals on silicon. In our new paper Erick Romero, Atieh Kermany, Leo SementilliWarwick Bowen & collaborators carve out a method to quantify and engineer the dissipation of thin crystalline mechanical resonators.
