Ultrafast processes in semiconductor nanocrystals
Dzurňák, Branislav ; Trojánek, František (advisor) ; Dohnalová, Kateřina (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with optical properties of silicon nanocrystals implanted in silicon oxide substrate. We examined samples with various concentrations of nanocrystals. We measured Raman spectra of our samples and identified size of nanocrystals and distance between them as function of depth. We measured absorption and reflection of samples and calculated the energy of band gap. For various implantation doses we examined temperature dependence of luminescence spectra. Two peaks were observed for excitation wavelength of 408 nm, the first shifts towards longer wavelength with increasing temperature, the second one stays unchanging. We observed low-temperature resonant luminescence in order to identify fonon structure. During observation of time-resolved luminescence two components of fast luminescence appeared - the slower in scale of nanoseconds, the faster in scale of picoseconds. We devoted to study of the faster component. For the faster component we observed up-converted luminescence. Intensity dependence of this component is quadratic. We also observe degradation of luminescence owing to strong laser beam. In conclusion we discussed origin of each component of luminescence spectra.

Photochromic effect in nanoporous titanium dioxide film with Ag nanocrystals
Galář, Pavel ; Malý, Petr (advisor) ; Dohnalová, Kateřina (referee)
The diploma thesis is devoted to multicolour photochromic effect in nanocomposite material Ag-TiO2, which is caused by a spectrally selective photoinduced decrease in extinction. The Thesis introduces briefly the theory of particle plasmons which are of fundamental significance for the investigated phenomenon. A short summary of the models and results published on photochromic effect in Ag-TiO2 is than given. The core of thesis deals with the optimization of this nanocomposite material towards a high photochromatic response. The influence of concentration of the TiO2 solution and of the speed of its spin coating deposition on a substrate was measured. Also the effect of AgNO3 quality used for sample preparation was monitored. A change in the extinction was found to depend on parameters of the excitation laser beam too. As a part of the optimization process, also the alternative TiO2 matrixes produced on basis of lamellar micelles were tested. The photochromic effect was monitored by measurements of the light extinction and scattering in dependence on the sample photoexposition. The properties of a set of the high-quality samples were studied using photoluminescence spectroscopy. Measurements of the photoluminescence decay with subpicosecond time resolution by up-conversion technique as well as of the...
