Passivation of germanium surface using ALD
Kuba, Jakub ; Polčák, Josef (referee) ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (advisor)
The thesis deals with passivation of germanium surfaces by chemical etching and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Attention was paid to the rate of oxidation of germanium surfaces after selected passivation methods and the composition of the germanium suboxides. In the thesis selected methods for germanium oxide removal are reviewed and a brief description of the methods used for analysis (XPS) and thin film deposition (ALD) is given.

Studium interakce adsorbátu s pasivovanými povrchy Si pomocí STM
Matvija, Peter ; Kocán, Pavel (advisor) ; Švec, Martin (referee)
The scanning tunneling microscopy is used to study the morphology of Tl adlayer in various stages of Tl desorption from the Si(111) surface and to study behaviour of various adsorbates on the Si(111)/Tl-(1 × 1). The utilization of thallium layer for passivation of the Si(111) was examined closely for various adsorbates. Manganese, aluminium, indium and tin layers which were directly deposited onto the Si(111)-(7 × 7) were compared with the layers prepared by deposition of adsorbate onto the passivating layer after the subsequent thermal desorption of Tl (after annealing at ≈ 400◦ C). Examined adsorbates exhibited signs of extremely high diffusivity and weak bond with the surface Si(111)/Tl- (1 × 1). The passivating layer was stable against the adsorbates.The application of thallium in the role of surfactant caused lowering of temperature and coverage needed for the preparation of reconstructions which were observed on the surfaces prepared by the direct deposition of adsorbate. 1

Passivation of the active layer in perovskite solar cells with inverted architecture
Babincová, Kristina ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jan (advisor)
The topic of this work is the passivation of the active layer of perovskite solar cells with an inverted structure. The work is divided into theoretical and experimental part. The theoretical part describes in particular the passivation and modification of the perovskite layer as well as the characteristic properties of perovskite, including structure and stability. The experimental part deals with the preparation of photovoltaic cells with an inverted structure. For the characterization of photovoltaic cells, reference samples were prepared and their active layer was modified by plasma. The most used deposition technique for the preparation of layers was the spin coating method. From the performed experiments it can be concluded that the preparation of samples and their subsequent modification under laboratory conditions does not lead to the improvement of the final parameters of photovoltaic conversion. By transferring the sample preparation and passivation of the active layer to an inert atmosphere, it was possible to produce cells with higher efficiencies (compared to the reference sample), around 10 %. Another advantage of this plasma treatment of the active layer is that it also improves the stability of the prepared structures, which even after a few days in air show almost 80 % of the original efficiency.

Workplace for measuring electrochemical potential of metals
Cápal, David ; Kazda, Tomáš (referee) ; Libich, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis describes the issues related to corrosion in electrical engineering. Thesis describes corrosion itself, historical mentions and causes. It also deals in deatail with electrochemical corrosion and the behavior of ions at the electrode-electrolyte interface together with the redox processes that accompany them. This thesis describes the origin and use of these electrochemical reactions as a way of creating electrochemical potential in liquid electrolytes at the metal-electrolyte interface. Thesis also describes measuring methods and evaluation of measured results using polarization curves and Tafel diagrams.

Possible design and performance mistakes of welds for resulting chemical threatment by pickling
Hendrych, Marek ; Kubíček, Jaroslav (referee) ; Sigmund, Marian (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of surface treatment by pickling. In the research part the pickling technology is described in detail. The next chapters are focused on the TIG welding method and the weldability of austenitic stainless steels. In the experimental part an experiment is carried out focusing on the comparison of weight loss and surface quality depending on the pickling time. Part of the conclusion is the implementation of pWPS documentation for the specified component and a brief manual for customers of pickling plant.

Surface pre-treatment of structural aluminum alloys for bonded joints
Pikner, Jan ; Doskočil, Leoš (referee) ; Wasserbauer, Jaromír (advisor)
This thesis deals with pre-treatment of surface of aluminium alloys. The theoretical part focuses on the properties of aluminium and its alloys, on methods of surface treatment and the possibilities of quality assessment of pre-treated surface. The experimental part deals with finding of a proper method of pre-treatment. The quality of surface pre-treatment is assessed by observation by SEM with EDS and by single lap shear tests of adhesive joints. According to evaluated results, the optimalised methods are qualitatively and financially compared with the commercial method.
