Local characterization of electronic devices
Müller, Pavel ; Škarvada, Pavel (referee) ; Tománek, Pavel (advisor)
The development of micro and nanoelectronics and nanophotonics needs novel characterization techniques to ensure higher quality of designed devices. The thesis describes a use of Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) in dimensional control and in local investigation of diverse physical parameters. As example of its potential, the correlation between object topography and reflection measurement of capacitors is shown.

Nanometric vibrometry
Ševčík, Michal ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Škarvada, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the precise measurement of distances in nanometer range at ultrasonic frequencies for the purposes of vibrometry. The paper is primary focused on~nanometric displacement measurement methods. First the thesis deals with the physical phenomena based on light in the theoretical section. This includes interference of light, index of refraction, polarization, interferometry and more. Understanding of these physical laws is crucial for design and assembling of the interferometer. Subjects of interferometric method for precise and fast measurement of the nanometric displacement and vibration are discussed. Interferometer components such as lasers, photodetectors and optical elements are described are described in the final part of this section. Practical section of thesis can be divided into two parts. The design and assembling issues are discussed in the first section. Many problems which I had to solve are described. Control software and implementation of the signal processing is the subject of the second part. I met with particular problems such as phase unwrapping. I solved this problem of discontinuous phase field with user written algorithm. Finally the graphical user interface was created. Using assembled interferometer and written software application I measured vibration of Langevin transducer on ultrasonic frequencies.

Scanning photoelasticimetry
Šikula, Radek ; Palai-Dany, Tomáš (referee) ; Škarvada, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the polarization of the light and its use in the field of photoelasticity measurement. The theoretical part is divided into two sections. First the light is described as electromagnetic waves in the theoretical section. Further the polarization types are described and the principle of the photoelasticity is explained. Electronic is described in the second section of the theoretical part. In the frame of the experimental part electronic design is presented together with the program for the scanning device controller. The functionality of the device is tested in the last section.

Local IR spectra measurement system
Pospíchal, David ; Trčka, Tomáš (referee) ; Škarvada, Pavel (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of a system for measuring infrared spectra from local areas of samples. The theoretical part describes the electromagnetic waves and related phenomena. Furthermore, the semiconductor junction and solar cells are discussed. The following is a basic description of line spectrometers. In the practical part, a suitable arrangement of the whole system, collimator design, and especially the core of the whole work, ie control software and signal processing, are proposed.

Piezoelectric nanofiber materials for wearable electronics
Frolíková, Štěpánka ; Škarvada, Pavel (referee) ; Macků, Robert (advisor)
This thesis deals with the influence of production parameters on the morphology of PVDF nanofibers produced by electrospinning. Nanofibers are generally a widely used material, nanofibers are generally a widely used material, they can also have piezoelectric properties, which gives them a specific spectrum of use, eg in biosensors. The production of nanofibers was realized by electrospinning. A scanning electron microscope was used to examine the morphology and surface properties. The aim of this thesis is to compare the properties of PVDF nanofibers produced under different settings of production parameters.

Remote fault monitoring system
Jarůšek, Jakub ; Trčka, Tomáš (referee) ; Škarvada, Pavel (advisor)
In practice, optical non-contact measurement of distance and displacement is divided into various methods that use a different parameter of the optical (light) signal. Some methods are explained in the work. The triangulation method is described in more detail. This method is used to measure and monitor the displacement of geological faults. For this monitoring, a low-budget device is designed, which uses lasers and a sensor to determine the displacement of the measured object in a certain time interval. The whole system will serve as verification of data measured by magnetoresistive sensors.

Raman spectroscopy teaching equipment
Indra, Zdeněk ; Sedlák, Petr (referee) ; Škarvada, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis examines the principle of the Raman phenomenon and the function of the Raman spectrometer in order to build a low-cost Raman spectrometer assembly for school laboratory teaching. The thesis lists the important parts of the device and describes their key features. Subsequently, the selection of each component is discussed and a basic experiment is performed to verify the principle of this spectrometer. In the final part, a low-cost Raman spectrometer is constructed and tested thanks to the knowledge gained.

Field measurement of natural electromagnetic emissions near the active tectonic and mass-movement fractures in caves
Trčka, T. ; Macků, R. ; Koktavý, P. ; Škarvada, P. ; Baroň, I. ; Stemberk, Josef
Laboratory tests on a wide range of solid materials shoved that the electromagnetic emission (EME) signals are generated during the samples mechanical stress. EME anomalies have been observed also under natural conditions in association to fracture processes, tectonic loading, stress redistribution and crack propagation prior to earthquake or in relation to deep-seated gravitational mass movements. This paper describes a first prototype of the Emission data logger, which was specially developed for the continual EME monitoring in field conditions. Our equipment has been installed and tested in Obir Caves (Austria) at an active tectonic fault. The pilot long-term EME measurement results from this location are also presented in this paper.

Pipetting indicator
Demjan, Michal ; Čmiel, Vratislav (referee) ; Škarvada, Pavel (advisor)
Thesis “LED pipetting indicator” considers possibilities of indication of working process using microplates with 96 and 48 wells. It is also considering low financial costs of the final product, same as universality for using microplates intended for different uses and researches and also for using microplates made by different manufacturers. This work follows designing of hardware, software and casing. Device is using 96 LED diodes, controlled by microcontroller which is able to communicate with system of higher level.
