Development of probes for combined magnetic force microscopy and electron microscopy
Láznička, Tomáš ; Švarc, Vojtěch (referee) ; Pavera, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with the production of magnetic probes for Magnetic Force Microscopy. For production, it was necessary to construct a device that can be used to make magnetic probes from commercial AFM probes. The requirements for the holder for deposition are specified, mechanical designs of six proposals which have been improved are discussed and further is described a production of magnetic probes. In a special chapter are shown deposited material on probe tips surface and results of testing magnetic probes.

Computer control of the deposition process
Pavera, Michal ; Voborný, Stanislav (referee) ; Urbánek, Michal (advisor)
This bachaloers thesis deals with automation of the deposition process of the ultrathin layers by IBAD method. One of the tasks is to design motorized target and shutter manipulator. The thesis therefore contain drawings of these manipulators. Which enable their control by stepper motors. Second task is to design of electronics and program control of primary and secondary ion source. In this part is described connection of the system with the computer using AD/DA converters and the appropriate programming. Last part of the thesis deals with differences between automated and manual control of the system, their advantages and disadvantages.

Development of the sample holder for electrical diagnostics in UHV SEM
Axman, Tomáš ; Pavera, Michal (referee) ; Bábor, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on design and testing of a sample holder enabling for cooling and heating of the sample in ultra-high vacuum apparatus for scanning electron microscope, developed in cooperation with Tescan company. In the theoretical part the currently used sample holders in similar UHV systems are described and their positives and negatives are discussed including material selection. The experimental part describes designing of the sample holder with respect to the required number of electrical contacts for measuring electrical properties of the samples and UHV compatibility. Measurement and testing of the manufactured sample at low and high temperatures is presented.

Use of a special optical fiber in an electron microscope chamber
Černek, Ondrej ; Konečný, Martin (referee) ; Pavera, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is concerned about the modification of vacuum chamber of the Scanning Electron Microscope VEGA developed by TESCAN Brno s.r.o. in order to implementation of Scanning Probe Microscope. Moreover, it is dedicated to development of apparatus for using hollow optical fiber allowing the guidance of light and various gases on the sample surface placed in the vacuum of electron microscope. By using the hollow optical fiber as a probe of Scanning Probe Microscope, it is possible to work with a tip with specific properties. A brief introduction to Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy is presented in the theoretical part. Furthermore, there is a technique of using optical fibers in Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy described. Also a problem of vacuum systems, gas flow through the pipe and technique of Gas Injection System is introduced. In the construction part, there are initiated steps in the development of the vacuum chamber and the apparatus allowing the guidance of hollow optical fiber into the chamber of microscope. The experimental part presents the result of measurements obtained by probe of Scanning Probe Microscope with modified optical fiber and gas transmissivity of hollow optical fiber.

Scanning probe microscopy scanner with high resonant frequency
Krupa, Matyáš ; Dostál, Zbyněk (referee) ; Pavera, Michal (advisor)
The thesis deals with the design of the scanning probe microscopy scanner with a higher resonant frequency. The first part of the thesis is focused on theory as the principle of atomic force microscopy, function of the scanner and its properties. The second part describes the gradual development of a new microscope. The mechanical simulations used to determine the properties of scanners are introduced first. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the design for the x, y axis and then also for the z axis. In conclusion, the final design of a three-axis scanner with a higher resonant frequency is presented.

Self-sensing SPM probes for measuring electrical properties of materials
Očkovič, Adam ; Vařeka, Karel (referee) ; Pavera, Michal (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis is focused on the modification of probes with an integrated sensor usable for measuring conductivity characteristics of surfaces in atomic force microscopy. The first part presents the theory concerning atomic force microscopy, conductivity measurement and deposition using an ion beam. Furthermore, the method of production and limitation of the use of electrically conductive probes with optically read deflection is described. The practical part presents the main problems of probes with integrated sensors in conductivity measurements. Furthermore, the modification of the probes themselves, the measurements made with these probes and suggestions for improving the properties of the probes are described.

Low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy
Sojka, Antonín ; Havlíček,, Marek (referee) ; Pavera, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part describes the production of chrome and cobalt tips for SP-STM with subsequent testing of chrome tips on the Fe-Ir system (111). Furthermore, the first results from the growth studies of niobium on iridium(111) are presented. In the second part is described in detail the experimental LT-STM microscope of the Faculty of Physical Engineering. The chapter deals with the development of the microscope and its testing on a HOPG sample under atmospheric and vacuum conditions. The chapter describes the biggest problems which were solved when the microscope was puting into operation state. The second part also introduces the design of a new vacuum transport system, which consists of a tip and sample transport pallet. At the end of the second part is described the testing of cooling systems for LT-STM and the design of their modifications.

Design of the supporting platform for low temperature UHV STM microscope
Dao, Tomáš ; Křupka, Ivan (referee) ; Pavera, Michal (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with the design of a vibration isolated platform for low temperature scanning tunneling microscope working under ultra high vacuum (UHV STM). Cooling of the microscope is done by liquid helium using a flow cryostat designed in Institute of Scientific Instruments of the AS CR. In the thesis, general requirements of designing of an ultra high vacuum compatible devices are discussed, as well as the ways of vibrational isolation and damping. Also some ways how to restrict the transfer of vibration between vacuum devices and surroundings are mentioned. This knowledge is then applied to the design of the antivibrational microscope platform compatible with low temperature usage. For better understanding of vibrational transfer and damping, a real model of the designed platform is made and vibrational transfer characteristics are measured and compared with the theory.

Real-time study of reaction waves
Gazdík, Richard ; Pavera, Michal (referee) ; Bábor, Petr (advisor)
Táto bakalárska práca sa zaoberá heterogénnou katalytickou oxidáciou oxidu uhoľnatého, a hlavne reakčnými vlnami vyskytujúcimi sa pri určitých podmienkach, na povrchu platiny. Práca je rozdelená na dve hlavné časti – teoretickú a experimentálnu. Teoretická časť podáva informácie ohľadom rastrovacieho elektrónového mikroskopu, mikroskopu atomárnych síl a detailov reakcie. Pre experimentálnu časť boli vykonané pozorovania tejto reakcie v ultravysoko-vákuovom, ako aj vo vysoko-vákuovom rastrovacom elektrónovom mikroskope, a v oboch prípadoch boli identifikované reakčné vlny. Cieľom bolo tiež skúsiť vykonať korelatívne meranie reakčných vĺn sondou a elektrónovým mikroskopom (CPEM), ktoré, bohužiaľ, z veľa rôznych dôvodov popísaných v poslednej časti práce, nevyšlo.
