Study of thin film organic materials thickness
Hegerová, Lucie ; Veselý, Michal (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the determination of thickness and refractive index of thin organic films using image analysis. In the theoretical part there are described principles of the methods, which are used to prepare the films (spin coating, inkjet printing, vapour deposition), the characteristics of thin films, ways of finding out the thickness and refractive index of substances (weight methods, electric methods, method based on measurement of absorption coefficient of light, interference microscopy, ellipsometry) and also image analysis (harmonic and wavelet analysis). Interference microscope Epival - Interpako (Carl Zeiss Jena), digital camera Nikon Coolpix 5400 and computer were used for the determination of thickness and refractive index. The thicknesses of layers were set on the basis of interference images of edges and grooves – both from the side of the metal contact and the side of underlying glass. The refractive indices of thin layers were then set using the recorded figures. In the final part of the thesis there are discussed the results of interference images photographed along the full length of the aluminium contact which are used for measuring electrical characteristics of DPP structures. The produces are thicknesses and refractive indices of individual layers.

Study of optoelectrical properties of organic semiconductor thin film layers
Kovář, Jakub ; Weiter, Martin (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This thesis concerns with electrical and optoelectical properties of thin organic semiconductor layers. In the research, organic electroluminescent devices were prepared and the effect of illumination and inclusion of organic interlayers, that act as alternative electrodes, on charge injection and transport were investigated on them by means of electrical measurement and impedance spectroscopy. On the basis of measured data, the thesis attempts to determine materials best suited for interlayers, which could make an improvement of electric properties of electroluminescent devices possible. The sence of using a combination of direct current measurement and impedance spectroscopy was also discussed in the thesis.

Study of thermal properties of selected coloids
Křivánková, Kateřina ; Krouská, Jitka (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the study of the thermal properties of colloidal systems, especially the properties of emulsions (water, oil), which can be used in the cosmetic industry as an essential component of various lotions and creams and in the food industry. In the introduction the first defined thermo-physical processes (conduction, convection and radiation) and temperature measurement (stationary, transient). Furthermore defined physical parameters (heat and thermal conductivity, heat capacity), that are determined using transient methods. The measured data were collected and analyzed by using the EMA (Electrical Measurement Analyser) and the HarFA (Harmonic and Fractal Image Analyser). The results will be used to determine the optimum conditions for the production of cosmetics and dietary supplements.

Optical properties of protective emulsions
Valasová, Denisa ; Veselý, Michal (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis is aimed to the study of optical properties of protective commercially available emulsions. Chosen emulsions should be responsible for sun protection. They also may be used in cosmetic industry. In the beginning of the thesis, there are defined theoretical features of emulsions and their interaction with UV radiation. Methods which are used to describe optical properties could be found in this section too. The optical properties were measured in thin layer films, in order to simulate emulsions applied on the human skin. UV-VIS spectrophotometry was mainly used to study the optical properties. The obtained results could serve, purely hypothetically, like sun protective tests of chosen emulsions.

Study of electrical and dielectric properties of ionic liquids
Maráčková, Lucie ; Nešpůrek, Stanislav (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis is focused on a study of electrical and dielectric properties of ionic liquids in the form of solution and thin layers. The values of breakdown voltage have been determined from current-voltage characteristics in solutions. Frequency dependencies have been also observed and used for calculation of values of parallel conductivity and capacity of ionic liquid. It was found that solutions is contained by model with one parallel combination of conductivity and capacity. Thin layers have been created by mixing up PEDOT:PSS with two ionic liquids: 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate. These layers have created electrochemical battery as is evident from current-voltage characteristics. Frequency dependencies are more complex, a model contained two or respectively three parallel conductivities and capacities which have been influenced by PEDOT:PSS and by ionic liquids characteristics.

Use of biomaterials for optoelectronic applications in semiconductor technology
Čuboň, Tomáš ; Salyk, Ota (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The bachelor´s thesis is aimed to measurement optical properties of thin layer films of biomaterials which could be used in optoelectronics and semiconductor technology. DNA and BSA were chosen in order to represent such extensive group of biomaterials. The theoretical part describes the way of preparation of thin layer. It also provides some information about basic phenomena and biomaterials. The practical part is focused on the description of preparation of thin layer film using spin-coating method. The chosen materials were studied by optical microscopy, UV-VIS spectrophotometry and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The thickness of prepared samples was measured by mechanic profilometry. In the last section of the bachelor´s thesis, there is discussion and evaluation of results.

Using image analysis to determine the number of colonies of microorganisms
Kováčiková, Eva ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the usage of image analysis in the determination of the quantity and of the size of microbial colonies. Microorganism used in the experiment was Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which forms regular shapes of colonies on the solid medium. The applied methods of image analysis were based on wavelet transform. Fractal analysis of digital images was performed using a computer program HarFA and fractal parameters were defined. The obtained data was used for graph representation of distribution and frequency of colonies.

Study population of bacteria by image analysis methods
Ševčík, Jan ; Veselá, Mária (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on monitoring and application of image analysis methods on Bacillus megaterium and Cupriavidus necator bacteria. The introduction describes a general knowledge about bacteria, microscopic and image analysis methods. At first it was necessary to prepare suitable microscopic specimens using Gram staining for the observation of a bacteria cell. Every picture of bacteria was taken using a CCD camera and a microscope. Box–Counting method was used to identify the optimal threshold value, corresponding to their fractal measure (or surface areas covered with bacteria) and fractal dimension (or entropy of their arrangement on the surface area). After thresholding, the images were further processed using the Mass–Radius method, which defines a distribution of bacteria relative to the centroid of a cluster.
