Flimel, Karol ; Žídek, Jan (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
The study of the new materials potentially usable for organic photovoltaic and electronics are getting very important from the point of ecological and financial view. Organic electronic devices are getting more and more popular and it is only up to us to search for the new ones that are able to improve their physical properties. The aim of this thesis is to search for materials like have been mentioned above which have very good semiconducting properties. Solutions of pure materials and its mixtures with different concentrations of fullerene have been investigated by ultra-violet spectroscopy, classical fluorescence and time resolved spectrometry. Mainly, were studied the influence of the central atom and side substituents for the optical and electronical properties of our materials of interest. With adding fullerene was observed quenching phenomena of the fluorescence, because all these new materials show usually high photoluminescence. Based on the given results, the most suitable materials had been chosen to provide trial of making organic solar cell, and therefore investigated by the mean of electric measurements (direct current).

Organic solar cells for photovoltaic conversion of solar energy
Šedina, Martin ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
This work is focused to study organic materials for solar energy conversion into electricity and characterization of conversion processes. Materials and their blends with semiconducting properties such as photoconductivity were studied. Thin films of organic materials and their blends were prepared by spin-coating method and characterized by optical methods (UV-VIS and photoluminiscence spectroscopy), by current-voltage characteristics, by impedance spectroscopy method, spectral response measurement of photocurrent and method of transient photoconductivity. Structural factors influences the conversion of solar energy into electricity were observed. Based no these results, the materials and their blends useful for photovoltaic applications were determined. The dependence between photoconductivity of thin films and theirs structure was also discussed.

The influence of photochromic reaction on optoelectrical properties of organic semiconductors
Heinrichová, Patricie ; Weiter, Martin (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on study of electric and optoelectric properties of conjugated polymers. The theoretical part describes the relationship between molecular structure of conjugated materials and their chosen macroscopic physical properties like absorption of visible and ultraviolet radiation, electrical conductivity and photoconductivity. This part also describes photochromism and its utilization for construction of light driven current switch. The experimental part studies this switch based on change of photochromic species dipole moment dispersed in conjugated conducting polymer. The active switching unit is represented by photochromic spiropyran 1’,3’-dihydro-1’,3’,3’-trimethyl-6-nitrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2’-(2H)-indol] which is dispersed in conjugated conducting polymer poly[2-methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylene-vinylen]. The influence of the photochromic conversion on the polymer matrix was studied by absorption spectroscopy, current-voltage measurements and spectrally resolved steady state photoconductivity and transient photoconductivity.

Advanced materials for organic photonics
Zvěřina, Libor ; Salyk, Ota (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
The theoretical part of this bachelor’s thesis deals with principles, structure and optimization of organic solar cells and properties of low-molecular advanced materials – diketopyrrolopyrroles, which are used in photovoltaics. In the experimental part six derivatives of diketopyrrolopyrrole were analysed by optical characterisation. It was found that N-substitution does not influence optical properties. Length of conjugated system showed to be the key parameter. The longer conjugation is, the smaller band gap and the greater absorption intensity are obtained. Based on the previous study, four materials were chosen to prepare solar cells. Influence of thermal annealing and gradual-annealing was studied. Current density, fill factor and photovoltaic conversion efficiency were increased by annealing. Gradual-annealing have not lead to further improvement. Finally, solar cells were optimized by 1,8-diiodooctane as an additive. It was found that effect of thermal annealing can be replaced with the additive. The best photovoltaic conversion efficiency was measured on the cell with 0,2 vol. % of additive in active bulk heterojunction.

Kinetics of photochromic reactions in thin polymeric layers
Zeman, Vojtěch ; Weiter, Martin (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
The thesis is aimed to the study of spiropyrane behavior in polymeric matrix of poly(N-vinylkarbazole) (PVK) and poly[2-methoxy-5-(3´,7´-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-fenylenvinylene)] (MDMO-PPV). The photochromic transformation of spiropyrane to its isomeric merocyanine form (SPMC) was studied by absorption and emission spectroscopy. It was found, that photochromic reaction is markedly dependent on the environment. In the PVK polymer, which don’t absorb in the visible region, a high yield of photochromic reaction was achieved. Both, absorption and emission spectrums were observed for this system. From the measurement of time dependencies of the fotochromic reaction, the activation energy of the reverse reaction was determined. A different behavior, particularly in emissive spectrums, was found for the MDMO-PPV polymer doped with spiropyrane. Instead of formation of new band of merocyanine, decrease of the polymer fluorescence was observed. Subsequently, we studied the interaction between the polymeric matrix and the photochromic spiropyrane using fluorescence quenching method. On the basis of energy transfer theory, a critical radius of the fluorescence quenching sphere in solution and in solid was determined.

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.
