Application of metallic materials for selective growth
Němeček, Tomáš ; Rezek, Bohuslav (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
The Si(100) surface and Ga surface phases up to 1 ML on their oxidation have been studied by XPS and LEED. The selective growth of Ga on the SiO2/Si structures fabricated by EBL has been analyzed using SEM and AFM methods. It was proved that Ga clusters grow in structures beside the oxide. The structure of alumina on Ni3Al(111) and NiAl(110) substrates was fully determined by combining the results of STM measurements and DFT simulations. It was determined the alumina/NiAl(110) does not form a suitable template for ordered Fe and Co clusters growth. However, the next research confirmed the alumina/Ni3Al(111) forms template appropriate to clusters growth purpose.

Preparation of graphene samples for experiments under UHV conditions
Mareček, David ; Mach, Jindřich (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with electrical conductivity of a graphene sample and preparation of a graphene field-effect transistor. In the theoretical part of the thesis, we describe electronic properties of graphene, preparation of graphene by CVD and its transfer to SiO_2. Experimental part of this thesis is focused on the preparation of a graphene field-effect transistor with long distance between Source and Drain electrodes. Thesis deals with a design of a chip expander for contact of graphene in UHV conditions. The last part describes measurement of dependency of graphene layer conductivity on the gate voltage with emphasis on the position of Dirac point during adjustments of the sample in UHV conditions.

Fabrication of Nanowires into Porous Alumina by Electrolysis
Staňo, Michal ; Čechal, Jan (referee) ; Škoda, David (advisor)
This thesis deals with preparation of metal nanowires based on electrodeposition from aqua solution of metallic salts into porous dielectric aluminium oxide templates. The theoretical part covers various bottom-up methods of nanowire preparation using a template, electrochemistry and electrodeposition overview. The Experimental part is focused on the nanowire (Ag, Cu, Ni-H) preparation by means of direct current and alternating current electrodepositon and geometrical characterization of fabricated nanowires by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. Defects of commercially available and prepared porous alumina templates are mentioned. Branching and coalescence of nanowires are briefly discussed as well.

Fabrication and Characterization of Templates for Fabrication of Nanowires
Lednický, Tomáš ; Čechal, Jan (referee) ; Škoda, David (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on fabrication of alumina templates by anodization of pure aluminium. The theoretical part discusses the growing process of anodized oxide layers and its dependency on the crucial parameters (solutions, anodization voltage, time). The theoretical part is particularly based on literature retrieval. The experimental part is aimed to the fabrication of alumina membranes: the apparatus design, aluminium foils preparation, aluminium anodization, membrane modifications for next applications (nanowires deposition) and membrane characterization.

Germanium island morphology in the presence of Gallium and Gold
Pejchal, Tomáš ; Čechal, Jan (referee) ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with germanium island morphology in the presence of gold, silver and gallium. The islands were grown on Ge(111) surface by means of evaporation under the UHV conditions. In the paper a background research on the surface reconstructions of the metals on Ge(111) is presented. It is demonstrated that the island concentration, size and shape are affected by the presence of metals and the deposition temperature. The surface structure and the morphology of the samples were investigated by RHEED and SEM.

Preparation of Ag/Co/Ag Trilayers
Burda, Pavel ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
The Bachelor's thesis is aimed to the preparation of silver and cobalt ultrathin films. The films are formed on modified surfaces of crystalline silicon substrates (SiO2/Si(111), Si(111) ?H, Si(111) 7×7) and amorphous SiO2 in a form of a quartz glass. Thin films are grown using an effusion cell for Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Surface modified surfaces are covered subsequently by a silver, cobalt and silver thin layer. The individual film thickness is 6 nm. Consequently the samples are studied by the X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The morphology of thin films and growth modes are compared among the substrates. Growth modes change with the surface modification type. Complete trilayer system Ag/Co/Ag was prepared on SiO2/Si(111) and Si(111) 7×7. Such system can be employed in plasmonics in order to allow the control of surface plasmon polariton properties by an external magnetic field.

An influence of electron beam on thin oxide films
Kostyal, Michal ; Průša, Stanislav (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor work deals with a study of the influence of electron beam of scanning electron microscope on the surface of the SiO2/Si (100) – sample. In the work the electron and atomic force microscopy briefly described. The main objective of experimental part is to describe variation in the brightness of sample SiO2/Si (100) in Scanning electron microscope images. In this study is found that on the sample surface are created objects few nm high. The rest of the work is then devoted to measuring the dependence of the object’s high on different variables. Experiments are generally based on the selective irradiation of the sample surface by scanning electron microscope, measurement of irradiated parts using atomic force microscope and evaluation in the application Gwyddion.

Ostwald ripening – theoretical description and simulation.
Čechal, Tomáš ; Šikola, Tomáš (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá popisem Ostwaldova zrání trojrozměrných ostrůvků deponovaných na rovinných površích. V první kapitole jsou představeny dvě teorie Ostwaldova zrání: LSW teorie založená na aproximaci středního pole a mnohačásticová teorie vycházející z řešení difuzní rovnice v kvazistatické aproximaci. Ve druhé kapitole je popsán algoritmus numerického řešení rovnic získaných z mnohačásticové teorie. Výsledky numerického řešení jsou ve třetí kapitole srovnány s předpověďmi LSW modelu. Bylo zjištěno, že předpovědi standardní LSW teorie popisující systémy s dvourozměrným transportem hmoty jsou v ostrém protikladu jak s výsledky získanými z dokonalejšího mnohačásticového modelu, tak s experimenty popsanými v uvedených pramenech. Mnohačásticový model založený na difuzní rovnici poskytuje výsledky konzistentní s jinými teoriemi i experimentem.
