Automatization of experimental setup for optical spectroscopy
Čecháček, Jan ; Nováček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the modernization and improvement of an application that automates measurements on an experimental setup for spectral and topographic mapping using confocal microscopy and near-field microscopy. The arrangement of the report, the principle of communication of the program with individual parts of the report and the principle of data collection and processing are described here. The output of the program are point spectra and 2D maps describing the topography, intensity and position of the spectral peaks. The thesis includes a research study of optical and time-resolving optical spectroscopy and their applications in nanophotonics. The correct functionality of the program is demonstrated by the results of measurements of perovskite MAPbI3 and organic substrate.

Optical characterization of perovskite via time-resolved spectroscopy
Schlor, Michal ; Kejík, Lukáš (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with experimental optical characterization of modern organic-anorganic perovskites, which are promised to improve the technology of photovoltaic cells for solar panels soon. Photovoltaic cells based upon these materials bring not only higher efficiency of solar panels, but also relatively simple and cheap manufacture. The first part of this thesis consists of basic structural qualities of perovskites as well as an overview of spectroscopic methods used to examine the properties of perovskites, especially their strong narrow–band photoluminiscence. The second part consists of characterizations of MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3 and MAPbI3 samples based on their photoluminiscence properties.

Processing and properties of transparent polycrystalline ceramic materials
Tásler, Jan ; Pouchlý, Václav (referee) ; Maca, Karel (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis is focused on the preparation and properties of transparent polycrystalline ceramic materials based on Al2O3. Theoretically, the most important technological aspects of the processing of these materials are presented. Detailed attention is given to transparent Al2O3 polycrystalline ceramics doped with rare earth elements. The influence of microstructural parameters on the optical properties (represented by RIT) is investigated on Al2O3 samples doped and codoped with dysprosium, terbium and chromium. A significant effect of the average grain size on the light transmittance of all samples is observed. The highest RIT = 55 % (measured by a laser beam with a wavelength of 632,8 nm) was achieved by an optimized preparation process for a sample doped with 0,05 at. % of dysprosium. For all samples photoluminescent properties are also analysed. The photoluminescent emission spectra correspond to the activation of doping elements. In case of the terbium and chromium codoped samples, the differences in the activation of individual dopants depending on different excitation wavelengths were demonstrated, resulting in different colour emissions for different excitation wavelengths.

Transparent polycrystalline ceramic materials with cubic lattice structure
Kučera, Jan ; Pouchlý, Václav (referee) ; Maca, Karel (advisor)
The presented work is focused on the study of the influence of preparation parameters on the optical properties of polycrystalline cubic ZrO2 (stabilized with 8 mol.% Y2O3). Furthermore, the work deals with the doping of c-ZrO2 with TiO2 and its effect on the luminescence properties of ZrO2. The examined samples were prepared by uniaxial pressing (10 MPa), followed by a cold isostatic pressing (300 and 700 MPa), pressureless sintering (1340–1380 °C, 10 min), and hot isostatic pressing (1200–1400 °C, 4 h, 200 MPa). In this work, it is shown that the optical properties are significantly affected by the temperature of the hot isostatic pressing, the thickness of the sample, and also by the wavelength of the incident light. A maximum real in-line transmission of 68.8 % was achieved, which is 90.5 % of the theoretical limit for c-ZrO2 at an incident radiation wavelength of 632.8 nm. A low-pressure infiltration method and a powder mixing method were used to prepare the doped ZrO2 ceramic sample. With doping, the maximum of the excitation spectrum shifted from 295 nm (4.20 eV) for the undoped ZrO2 to 320 nm (3.87 eV) for the doped samples. Doping led to an increase in emission intensity compared to a pure ZrO2 by up to 23 times. The maximum emission intensity at 545 nm wavelength was achieved for samples doped by infiltration method with a nominal 0.1 mol.% TiO2 content.

Automatisation of an experimental setup for optical spectroscopy
Hrabina, Jakub ; Gallina, Pavel (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the development and description of an application that enabled full automation of an experimental assembly for spectral mapping using confocal optical microscopy. It presents communication with all individual devices and explains the principle of data collection from the examined sample and their subsequent mathematical processing. The output of this application is the visualization of 2D spectral maps evaluating the intensity and position of spectral peaks, with the possibility of exporting user-friendly point spectra. In addition, the work further describes a research study of optical confocal spectroscopy with applications to nanophotonics. In addition, the functionality of the whole application is demonstrated on the spectral response of a 2D metasurface, which acts as a Bayer mask.

Optical characterization of perovskite nanostructures
Urban, Jakub ; Kvapil, Michal (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
The present bachelor's thesis focuses on the optical characterization of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals ranking among the group of materials called perovskites which are remarkable for their high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield. An algorithm for a correlation of experimental data measured by PL mapping with morphological and topological properties obtained by using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy has been developed which clears the way for a particular crystal detection and their spectrum analysis. Specifically, crystals the shape of which can be approximated by a cuboid have been detected and the volume dependence of the centre of mass of their PL, which is proportional to V^(-2/3) as predicted by the theorethical model, has been discovered. The measurement of PL dependency on temperatures ranging from 40 to 60 °C has also been conducted and in this temperature interval linear dependence of the full width at half maximum of their PL spectral line that rises with rising temperature has been confirmed. On the contrary, the centre of mass of PL has been found to be temperature independent.

Luminescence of semiconductors studied by scanning near-field optical microscopy
Těšík, Jan ; Klapetek, Petr (referee) ; Křápek, Vlastimil (advisor)
This work is focused on the study of luminescence of atomic thin layers of transition metal chalkogenides (eg. MoS2). In the experimental part, the work deals with the preparation of atomic thin layers of semiconducting chalcogenides and the subsequent manufacturing of plasmonic interference structures around these layers. The illumination of the interference structure will create a standing plasmonic wave that will excite the photoluminescence of the semiconductor. Photoluminescence was studied both by far-field spectroscopy and near-field optical microscopy.

The deposition of Ga and GaN nanostructures on silicon and graphene substrate
Novák, Jakub ; Jarý, Vítězslav (referee) ; Mach, Jindřich (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the study of properties of GaN nanocrystals and Ga structures on the surface of silicon and graphene substrate. In the theoretical part of this thesis, the basic properties of Ga/GaN and graphene are described, as well as their applications or connection of both structures together in different devices. The ability of metal nanoparticles to enhance not only photoluminescence, due to the interaction of the material with surface plasmons, is also shown in several examples. The experimental part of the work first deals with the production and characterization of graphene sheets prepared by Chemical Vapor Deposition. Ga/GaN growth on both types of substrates was performed in a UHV chamber using an effusion cell for Ga deposition and an atomic ion source for nitridation. Prepared structures were characterized using various methods (XPS, SEM, AFM, Raman spectroscopy or photoluminescence). In the last step, GaN nanocrystals were coated with Ga islands to study the photoluminescence enhancement.
