Effect of the laser pulse illumination on charge collection efficiency in radiation detectors.
Betušiak, Marián ; Belas, Eduard (advisor) ; Oswald, Jiří (referee)
The main focus of this thesis is the characterization of the charge transport in CdZnTe radiation detectors and the study of the effect of the detector illumination on charge transport. The transport properties are evaluated using Laser-induced Transient Current Technique and the Monte Carlo simulation is used for fitting the measured current waveforms. The properties of the detector prepared from semi-insulating CdZnTe single crystal with a platinum Schottky contacts were measured in the dark in the unpolarized and polarized state and under the anode and cathode continuous LED above-bandgap illumination.
Point defects in materials for detection of X-ray and gamma radiation
Rejhon, Martin ; Franc, Jan (advisor) ; Oswald, Jiří (referee) ; Toušek, Jiří (referee)
Title: Point defects in materials for detection of X-ray and gamma radiation Author: Martin Rejhon Department: Institute of Physics of Charles University Supervisor: prof. Ing. Jan Franc, DrSc., Institute of Physics of Charles Uni- versity Abstract: Cadmium telluride and its compounds are suitable materials for pro- duction of X-ray and gamma-ray detectors working at room temperature. How- ever, the detector quality is affected by material imperfections, such as crystal defects and impurities. It results into forming of deep levels which act as re- combination and trapping centers. Then, the accumulated space charge at these deep levels influences electric and spectroscopic properties of the detector. In the end it may result in the polarization effect, when the electric field is localized in vicinity of one contact and detection properties are decreased. This thesis reports a complex study of a detector band structure by various meth- ods with focus on differences between CdTe, CdZnTe, CdTeSe and CdZnTeSe. The electro-optic Pockels effect is used to investigate the influence of the illumi- nation in range 900 − 1800 nm on the inner electric field. The temperature and time evolutions of the electric field after application of bias or switching of the additional light at 940 nm were measured to determine deep levels...

Vaněk, Tomáš ; Hubáček, Tomáš ; Hájek, František ; Dominec, Filip ; Pangrác, Jiří ; Kuldová, Karla ; Oswald, Jiří ; Hospodková, Alice
Light extraction (LE) efficiency of GaN buffer layer was studied by angle-resolved photoluminescence. We measured enhancement of light extraction efficiency (LEE) up to 154% by introducing the SiNx layer atop the GaN buffer and subsequent GaN light extraction layer (LEL) overgrowth. Morphological properties of GaN.

Supplementation modes for athletes
Oswald, Jaroslav ; Kudláčková, Zděnka (advisor) ; Hronek, Miloslav (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biological and Medical Sciences Student: Jaroslav Oswald Supervisor of master thesis: PhDr. Zdeňka Kudláčková, Ph.D. Title of master thesis: Supplementation modes for athletes The aim of this work was to process information about selected dietary supplements and forbidden substances in sports, and also to give an overview of selected laboratory parameters monitored during training in specific types of athletes. Taking dietary supplements affects performance of active athletes. Supplementation with various dietary supplements can increase muscle mass, improve strength dispositions and help with fat reduction. It is a safe way to stimulate physical activity. It has been proven that usage of anabolic steroids leads to muscle mass increase and strength growth, but this usage is also accompanied with several undesirable side effects. Case reports of three different types of athletes show the differences between a natural user and an anabolic steroids user. The anabolic androgenic steroid user has shown a significant improvement in strength and performance, but he has also noticed some side effects (a slight decrease in testosterone levels after a cycle and an increase in prolactin levels). An amateur bodybuilder and...
Influence of Si doping in different layers on luminescence properties of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well structure
Hájek, František ; Hospodková, Alice ; Oswald, Jiří ; Slavická Zíková, Markéta
Luminescence of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structure is strongly affected by spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations. To suppress them, doping with shallow impurities (e. g. Si) can be used. This works presents the effects of Si doping in different layers around the MQW area. On the basis of photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence measurements and band structure simulation, the piezoelectric field is most efficiently reduced when both layers under and over MQW area are Si doped.\n
Photo-Hall effect spectroscopy and laser-induced transient currents in CdTe-based semiconductor radiation detectors
Musiienko, Artem ; Grill, Roman (advisor) ; Dubecký, František (referee) ; Oswald, Jiří (referee)
Title: Photo-Hall effect spectroscopy and laser-induced transient currents in CdTe-based semiconductor radiation detectors Author: Artem Musiienko Department / Institute: Institute of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Prof. RNDr. Roman Grill, CSc, Institute of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University Abstract: Cadmium Telluride, Cadmium Zinc Telluride, and Cadmium Manganese Telluride are important semiconductors with applications in radiation detection, solar cells, and electro-optic modulators. Their electrical and optical properties are principally controlled by defects forming energy levels within the bandgap. Such defects create recombination and trapping centers capturing photo- created carriers and depreciating the performance of the detector. Simultaneously, the changed occupancy of levels leads to the charging of detector's bulk, which results in the screening of applied bias and the loss of detector's sensitivity. Detailed knowledge of crystal defect structure is thus necessary for the predictable detector work and also for the possibility to reduce the structural defects concentration. This thesis reports on the investigation of deep energy levels in CdTe-based high resistivity and detector-grade materials by...
Room-temperature semiconducting detectors
Pekárek, Jakub ; Belas, Eduard (advisor) ; Oswald, Jiří (referee) ; Štekl, Ivan (referee)
Semiconducting material CdTe/CdZnTe has a huge application potential in spectroscopic room temperature radiation detection due to its properties. Such detectors can be used in medical applications, homeland security and for monitoring of nuclear facilities. However, the final device quality is influenced by many parameters. One crucial stage in detector fabrication is the proper surface treatment. The detailed study of surface treatments and their effect on final detector device is reported. Another crucial fact is the polarization of the detector caused by high radiation fluxes which negatively affects the use of such devices. The polarization occurs by capturing the photogenerated holes at the deep levels inside the semiconductor. The possible detector depolarization by infrared illumination during the detector operation has been experimentally verified and the obtained results are shown in this thesis. For optimal technology of preparation, it is also necessary to develop the fast characterization method for prepared detectors. The last aim of the thesis is to study the resulting quality of prepared planar and co-planar detectors by transient-current-technique (TCT). TCT is an electro-optical method allowing to determine variety of transport properties of radiation detectors, such as internal electric...
