Abstract
Mechanical Q-factor measurements of single crystalline calcium fluoride CaF2 bulk material are presented. Resonant modes between 27 and 100 kHz were investigated on a cylindrical test sample (). For selected modes low temperature measurements of the mechanical Q-factor were done within a temperature range from 5 to 300 K. For the Q-measurements a ring-down technique was used. The substrate was suspended as a pendulum by means of a tungsten wire loop. The highest Q-factor has been achieved around 60 K with 3 × 108 which is the highest Q-factor reported on CaF2 up to now.
