Hyperfine Interactions in Ferrites with Spinel Structure
Chlan, Vojtěch
Title: Hyperfine Interactions in Ferrites with Spinel Structure Author: Vojtěch Chlan Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Helena Štěpánková, CSc. Abstract: Ferrite systems with spinel structure, manganese ferrite, lithium ferrite and magnetite, are studied experimentally by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and from the first principles by electron structure calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). Manganese ferrites with various degrees of manganese-iron inversion and with different manganese contents are investigated, with respect to magnetic structure and cationic arrangement. An approach for NMR spectra interpretation is elaborated on ordered lithium ferrite, consisting in matching the calculated hyperfine field anisotropy with experimental results. This method is then applied to low temperature structure of magnetite, showing a promising path towards solving its complicated structure, orbital and charge ordering. The switching of magnetic easy axis induced by external magnetic field is observed in magnetite and the accompanying structural changes are studied by means of magnetic and NMR measurements. Magnetite with cationic vacancies is investigated by analyzing satellite structure induced by the vacancies; it is shown that...

The study of degasing process during thermal treatment of advanced ceramic
Kocián, Karel ; Šoukal, František (referee) ; Ptáček, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with mechanism and kinetics of the burnout of additives during thermal treatment of ferrite ceramics. In order to establish this process thermal analysis were used, specifically: simultaneous thermogravimetric determination, differential thermal analysis and thermal analysis with evolved gas analysis (TG-DTA and EGA), high-temperature microscopy (HM), burning test in kiln with controlled atmosphere and high-temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD). To determine the elemental composition after sintering and characterization of the sample, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used.

Mechanical properties of Nodular Cast Iron prepared by method Tundish and process Initek
Vítek, Radovan ; Hotový, Ivan (referee) ; Věchet, Stanislav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with a properties and production of nodular cast iron. The first section describes the classification, distribution and structure of nodular cast iron. The second part is focuses on the description of nodular cast iron, modification, inoculation and production. A strong effort is made on the production of nodular cast iron using the Tundish Cover method and the Initek process. In conclusion, the structure of the material is evaluated on samples that were delivered for metallographic analysis. The final evaluation of the structure of the material is used to compare the mechanical properties of a nodular cast iron produced by Tundish Cover method and Initek process.

Heat processing principle of operation thermal resistance annealing.
Špičková, Petra ; Humár, Anton (referee) ; Kalivoda, Milan (advisor)
The project assigned for the bachelors study program B 2307 analyses the theory of heat processing in general and furthermore resistance annealing with the focus on the technology developed by the company Heatmasters. Examples of processing methods used at other technology providers are presented, inclu-ding documentation and datasheets. Resistance annealing is based on the heat transfer from a resistive wire, which heats up by electrical current. The thermal energy is then transferred to the target material through heat radiation or con-ductance. The resistance heat processing is used both for welding and for an-nealing. Nowadays is the documentation and recording of the heat processing of significant importance. Possibilities exist that allow recording of temperature during the entire cycle of the heat processing and subsequently providing the result evidence in a form of a certificate.

Measurement of Carbon Diffusion Coeficient - Calibration of Sputter Depth
Král, Lubomír ; Čermák, Jiří
Depth profiling mode of MiniSIMS device was applied to diffusion measurement. Calibration of crater depth was done using shearing interference microscope Zeiss Epival Interphako (ZEI) and confocal mikroskope Olympus LEXT OLS3100 with atomic force microscopy (AFM) modul. The ZEI uses one of the classical interferometric measuring methods. Generally this method leads to results with considerable experimental error. AFM is a very high-resolution type of scanning probe microscopy, with typical resolution of the order of fractions of nanometers, which is more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit. However, the results taken by ZEI were in agreement with much more precise results of surface profiling achieved by AFM. It was found, at given experimental conditions (Fe-rich matrix, Ga + primary ions, 5 kV/3nA, DWT=1), that the sputter rate is some 0.3 nm per a single sputter scan of the crater area (50x50 µm). This depth calibration with SIMS technique can be applied to the study of carbon diffusion in BCC iron as an example. Special technique was developed, which avoids radio-tracer measurements with C-14. Obtained results are lower than the extrapolated values, which may be due to limited solubility of carbon in iron.

Low-temperature diffusion of carbon in iron measured by SIMS technique
Čermák, Jiří ; Král, Lubomír
Depth profiling mode of MiniSIMS device was applied to diffusion measurement. As an example, carbon diffusion in BCC iron was studied. There are sparse experimental diffusion data at temperatures below the eutectic horizontal (996 K). This is caused by the fact that direct measurement of carbon diffusion coefficient in ferrite at low temperatures is complicated by very low solubility of carbon. For practical purposes, the extrapolation of high-temperature data to low temperature region is usually used for estimation of diffusioncontrolled kinetics in ferrite alloys. Present work has shown that the SIMS technique can be applied to the study of carbon diffusivity in iron. Special technique was developed, which avoids radio-tracer measurements with C-14. Obtained results are lower than the extrapolated values, which may be due to limited solubility of carbon in iron.
