Final report of the project Effective use of waste heat reg. No. CZ.07.1.02 / 0.0 / 0.0 / 16_040 / 0000384 implemented within the call No. 24 OP PPR, technology 3, stationary high-potential sources of waste heat.
Hejtmánek, Jiří ; Stachura, Jan
The aim of the project was to use the waste thermal energy of flue gases or hot steam to produce electricity through thermoelectric generators (TEG). The local production of electricity at the place of its consumption will enable, for example, power source of autonomous sensors, including wireless transmission of necessary information to the control center or power source of safety lights, without installation of the electric cables from the distant power source, which is sometimes technologically difficult. Another specific possible utilization was aimed at the replacement of disposable batteries, which supply the necessary sensors and at the same time serve for sending data to the control center, which is energy demanding.\n

Plasma hydrogenation of hydrothermally grown ZnO micropods
Remeš, Zdeněk ; Aubrechtová Dragounová, Kateřina ; Mičová, J.
The hydrothermally grown ZnO micropods have been placed on grounded stainless-steel holder and exposed to an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) monitored in-situ by optical emission spectroscopy (OES). OES shows the immediate release of oxygen during Ar ion bombardment. The prolonged exposure to hydrogen plasma leads to deterioration of the optical properties as well. The exposure, rf power and hydrogen pressure have been optimized to enhance UV-photoluminescence peak at the wavelength 384 nm related to surface bounded excitons and reduce the defect-related photoluminescence in red spectral range. The strong UV photoluminescence appears just after 1 minute of plasma hydrogenation in a radio frequency plasma discharge with power density 40 W/dm3 and hydrogen pressure 17 Pa.

Nanosecond laser damage of metallic mirrors
Muresan, Mihai-George ; Pilná, Kateřina ; Čech, Pavel ; Mydlář, Martin ; Vanda, Jan ; Navrátil, Petr
Laser surface processing is an established method to introduce surface functionalities on solid surfaces with the required throughputs for a commercial process. Fabrication of laser induced surface structures in an effective matter is done by laser interaction studies, which reveal the best processing parameters (laser wavelength, fluence, repetition, together with the processing speed and environment). Customized solutions are providing the best yields and they are being implemented faster than ever. However, the optics manufacturers are not being to keep up the pace with the new requirements, so they turn instead on older, but safer technology. In order to get a better understanding of optics capabilities, thorough testing is required. Common laser metallic mirrors, commercially available, are being rigorously tested using a nanosecond Yb:YAG laser and the results are compared with the vendor’s information.\n

Role of Urbach Energy in Photovoltaics
Vlk, Aleš ; Abelová, Lucie ; Hájková, Zdeňka ; Remeš, Zdeněk ; Holovský, Jakub ; Ledinský, Martin
Organic-inorganic halide perovskites provide new opportunities for improvement of optoelectronic device performance, especially the efficiency of solar cells. To evaluate the quality of a new material many parameters has to be taken into account. Here, we discuss one of the often overlooked semiconductor’s parameters, Urbach energy, which is an easily accessible measure of material disorder. Moreover, we present its importance on the example of organic-inorganic halide perovskites.

CrystalCMP: examples of use
Rohlíček, Jan
The program CrystalCMP can be used for comparison of crystal structures containing separated molecular objects as it is, for instance, in molecular crystals or some metal-organic compounds. The program can be useful in many different situations. This article shows the use of the program CrystalCMP on three basic exam ples for which the program was primarily intended.
