Electrostatic assembly of alumina nanoparticles on nanocrystalline diamond films
Verveniotis, Elisseos ; Kromka, Alexander ; Rezek, Bohuslav
We apply atomic force microscope for local electrostatic charging of oxygen-terminated nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin films deposited on silicon, to induce electrostatically driven self-assembly of colloidal alumina nanoparticles into micro-patterns. The NCD films have sub-100 nm thickness and 60% relative sp2 phase content. We characterize charge contrast and stability in air, fluorocarbon oil and water by Kelvin force microscopy. We discuss factors influencing the charging process and demonstrate that the contrast of more than ± 1 V is needed to induce selfassembly of the nanoparticles via coulombic and polarization forces.

A curve template for I-V characteristics of the solar cells
Fejfar, Antonín
The contribution describes a computer program for manual fitting a theoretical dependence of the current flowing through a solar cell on the voltage in a way corresponding to flexible curve templates. The template provides handles "attached" to the curve for intuitive and independent manipulation of the parameters. This makes it possible to judge the sensitivity of the fit to the individual parameters.
