Local electrical conductivity measurements in AFM tapping mode
Dao, Radek ; Konečný, Martin (referee) ; Pavera, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is concerned about the development of a probe for local electrical conductivity measurements in tapping mode Atomic Force Microscopy. The teoretical part gives a short overview of Scanning Probe Microscopy techniques, with the focus being on Conductivity Atomic Force Microscopy. Furthermore, the measuring regime in which the probe operates is described here, as well as the basic component of the probe, the quartz tuning fork. The experimental part follows the iterative development process, and contains a chapter dedicated to making of very sharp tips. The final chapters describe the preparation of test samples, which were used to prove the functionality of the probe and the measurement of local electrical conductivity itself.

Surface modification by nano-droplets controlled by electron tweezers
Dao, Radek ; Šik, Ondřej (referee) ; Bábor, Petr (advisor)
This master's thesis is focused on the study of the consequences of electron beam induced motion of Au-Ge alloy nanodroplets on germanium surface. The text consists of two parts. The theoretical part gives an overview of measurement and fabrication techniques used for the experiments. The description of these techniques is mainly focused on topics needed to understand the ideas behind the experiments and their results. The topics covered here are the Atomic Force Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Electron Beam Lithography. These are followed by an introduction to the gold-germanium material system and the movement of Au-Ge alloy nanodroplets. The practical part gives a roughly chronological guide throughout the whole experimental process, including the search for a suitable sample fabrication method, the surface modification itself and its measurement. Temperature calibration of the heating system is also mentioned.
