Numerical optimization of absorption of mid-infrared plasmonic structures
Kulič, Martin ; Křápek, Vlastimil (referee) ; Kvapil, Michal (advisor)
Plasmonic nanostructures have a long and rich history in spectroscopy and sensing. First, we look at the history and applications of plasmonic structures and we discuss the parameters that influence the enhancement of various methods. Then the influence of plasmonic nanostructures on energy absorption in a thin layer of silicon oxide, silicon nitride and silicon-rich oxynitride of varying thickness is probed using Lumerical FDTD Solutions software. The last part of this thesis focuses on numerical demonstration of application of plasmonic antennas in spectroscopy.
Optimization of thin films of metal oxide materials
Vítek, Jiří ; Šimonová, Lucie (referee) ; Šubarda, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the description of the method of reactive sputtering of thin films. Currently, there are many ways how to create thin films and there are many applications of thin films in various industrial sectors. In this paper at the first are listed the issue of thin films, followed by an overview of the deposition techniques and of the chemical analysis of deposited thin films. It also describes the four-point measurement method of sheet resistance, mechanical test of adhesion and optical properties. At the end of the theoretical part are described the material composition of the deposited films. The goal of the practical part is to optimize the deposition process of the mixed layer of indium tin oxide (In2O3: SnO2) and contribute to the overall understanding of the influence of annealing on the layer. There were created six series of samples with that applied layers. First, the work focused on examining of the influence of annealing on the throughput in the whole measuring range, and then comparing the series due to the transmittance in the visible light spectrum. Furthermore were compared the value of sheet resistance of unannealed and subsequently annealed samples.
Fluorine detection by means of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
Jaworková, Magdalena ; Pořízka, Pavel (referee) ; Prochazka, David (advisor)
This work concerns the Laser Induced Break-down Spectroscopy LIBS and it´s usage in detection of fluorine in specimens. This method and the particular methods of measurements suitable for fluorine detection are analysed in theoretical part. The sensitivity of particular methods such as usage of buffer gases (He), change of ambient pressure, usage of double laser pulse (DP–LIBS) or detection of molecular bands are compared in experimental part.
Low energy excitations in oriented graphite by THz magneto-optical spectroscopy
Dubský, Jan ; Kunc, Jan (referee) ; Vrba, Radimír (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the modelling of electronic properties of graphite crystal, which are measurable using a spectrometer based on high frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR for short) located in laboratories of CEITEC BUT. This is especially the band structure of graphite and its Landau levels. The theoretical part of the thesis describes key effects and connections from quantum mechanics and definitions of important terms from solid state physics, which are used to describe the crystalline structure of graphite and its electronic properties. Furthermore, the project describes the HFEPR spectrometer and its functional principle. In the practical part of the thesis, there are numerical models of the band structure of graphite and of its Landau levels and description of the preparation of a graphite sample for measurement. At the end of the practical part there is the analysis of measurements results, namely the cyclotron resonance and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, thanks to which it is possible to determine physical parameters of the sample, such as effective mass of charge carriers and fundamental frequency.
Geometry of protein moleculs
Novotný, Jan ; Maděránková, Denisa (referee) ; Škutková, Helena (advisor)
Objective of this work was to study the spatial arrangement of protein molecules, with their extraction, notations and variables used in the course descriptions. Prediction of protein structures is very important for determining the future function of proteins. Another objective was to create a function in MATLAB that will graphically represent the spatial arrangement of the backbone structure of the protein by form Ramachandran plot. Along with this function create another function to render the side-chains of amino acids and function to calculate the stereochemical quality. Finally, create a program for a complete assessment of the spatial arrangement of the protein molecules and calculating the stereochemical quality of and test program for protein structures from public databases RSCB PDB.
Effect of magnetic field on laser-induced plasma characteristics
Vrábel, Jakub ; Pořízka, Pavel (referee) ; Prochazka, David (advisor)
This work is based on topic of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy „LIBS“ and its application to chemical analysis of materials. Paper presents a brief theoretical basis of LIBS with focus on effect of magnetic field to plasmas and modeling spectras for calib-ration-free LIBS analysis. Considerable part of work is dedicated to practical demon-stration of modeling spectras, using Matlab and interpretation of experimental results. The final output is automatized method for evaluation of spectras, which could leads to calibration-free LIBS analysis. Also there is an effort to increase sensitivity of method.
Fingerprint Liveness Recognition
Lodrová, Dana ; Orság, Filip (referee) ; Drahanský, Martin (advisor)
This document deals with presentation of nowadays software and hardware methods used for fingerprint recognition with focus on liveness testing and thereafter it deals with description of my solution. In order to describe results obtained from study of technical literature, we discuss important terminology of biometric systems at first and further main principles of fingerprint sensors used in practice are shown. From overviewed methods of liveness detection we underline one method based on  perspiration (researched by BioSAL laboratory) and one spectroscopic method researched by Lumidigm Corporation. The study of liveness testing methods inspired me to creation of new type fingerprint sensor which has built-in livennes testing method based on two characteristic properties of living human tisue. In order to test this sensor, we discuss nowadays sensor deception method. It follows from their analysis, that newly designed sensor should be theoretically resistant to each of them.
Design of compact spectrograph with shiftable spectral range based on transmission gratings
Malina, Jan ; Pořízka, Pavel (referee) ; Novotný, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to design a compact spectrometer with a transmission grating and a shiftable spectral range for the method of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The work in the theoretical part contains a basic description of spectroscopy and spectroscopic methods of LIBS, spectrometer and its individual parts. The practical part describes the spectrometer design procedure, introduces selected components and comments on the reason for their selection. Selected components are assembled into the final form of a spectrometer, which is further tested with the help of a simulation program to confirm its functionality. The result of the work is a comprehensive overview of the individual components of the spectrometer, aspects of its construction together with instructions and advice on its assembly, along with an example in the form of a designed set of commonly available catalog components.

Mydlář, Marek ; Frk, Martin (referee) ; Rozsívalová, Zdenka (advisor)
This master’s thesis applies dielectric relaxation spectroscopy to analyse impact of climatic changes on dielectric properties of composite material samples (TSA 220S varnish combined with 60.030 mica). Experiments aim to analyse effect of mica composite mass ratio (0, 4, 8 and 16 % of mica), relative humidity (0, 33, 55, 65, 75 and 95 %) and temperature (23, 30, 40 and 50 C) on complex permitivity as a function of frequency.
