Fabrication and characterization of plasmonic nanostructures
Bačo, Ondřej ; Kvapil, Michal (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with fabrication and characterization of plasmonic nanostructures. Graphene on a doped silicon substrate with a 285 nm thick layer of silicon dioxide was used for fabrication of these structures. Graphene ribbons with width in the order of hundreds of nanometers were prepared using electron beam lithography (EBL) and reactive ion etching (RIE). Steps in fabrication process were monitored utilizing optical and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Prepared graphene nanostructures were characterized with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR).

Design, fabrication and testing of graphene biosensors
Tripský, Andrej ; Gablech, Imrich (referee) ; Bartošík, Miroslav (advisor)
Pokrok ve vývoji nanotechnologií nám poskytuje dobrou příležitost k vývoji nových špičkových zařízení. Tato práce si klade za cíl vyrobit, popsat a změřit grafenové pH senzory na dvou různých substrátech - polymeru parylenu C a SiO2. Tento pH senzor je prvním krokem ve vývoji nositelné náplasti monitorující stav kůže a možné infekce. Grafen je 2D materiál na bázi uhlíku se zajímavými vlastnosti a nadějnými aplikacemi. Úspěšně jsme provedli dva různé experimenty sloužící k charakterizaci grafenových senzorů a jejich odezvu na různé hodnoty pH. V prvním experimentu jsme použili horní elektrolytické hradlo k určení bodu neutrality (Diracův bod). Druhý experiment popsal změnu rezistence grafenu jako funkce pH. Dále jsme také funkcionalizovali grafen polyanilinem, abychom zlepšili jeho vlastnosti. Prokázali jsme citlivost grafenových senzorů na pH pro oba substráty a objevili jsme několik výzev jako potřebu kontroly iontové síly, experimentů samotných a destrukce grafenu.

DFT calculations of graphene regarding to biosenzoric applications
Špaček, Ondřej ; Friák, Martin (referee) ; Bartošík, Miroslav (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on calculation of both structure and electronic properties of the graphene after the adsorption of atomic and molecular oxygen and urea using the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The influence of van der Waals interactions on the structure and adsorption energy is studied, as well as influence of the thermal corrections, the charge density spatial distribution and the electronic doping of graphene after the adsorption of the adsorbant on the graphene.

Schottky solar cells with interface graphene/Si modified by gallium
Hlavička, Ivo ; Lišková, Zuzana (referee) ; Mach, Jindřich (advisor)
Main focus of this bachelor thesis is on fabrication, characterization and modification of graphene-on-silicon Schottky solar cells. By transfering CVD graphene onto silicon wafer with electrodes, a basic Schottky junction was created. The junction was then modified by annealing in UHV chamber as well as by gallium deposition. Information about power conversion efficiency of such Schottky solar cells was then obtained by IV measurement. Schottky junction itself was analyzed using X-EBIC method.

The deposition of CaF2 ultrathin layers on graphene substrate
Caesar, Radek ; Nebojsa, Alois (referee) ; Mach, Jindřich (advisor)
This master’s thesis is focused on preparation and analysis of ultrathin CaF2 (calcium fluoride) films on a graphene substrate. CaF2 was deposited in UHV conditions at substrate temperatures in the range from 20 °C to 400 °C. The material was deposited on Si(111) with a native SiO2 layer and on a substrate with a CVD graphene layer. The deposited films were analyzed by XPS, AFM and SEM. Moreover four different sample holders for deposition purposes were designed in this work.

Fabrication and application of graphene-metal heterostructure in biosensing by Surface Enhenced Raman Spectroscopy
Hegrová, Veronika ; Édes, Zoltán (referee) ; Konečný, Martin (advisor)
This thesis deals with fabrication of graphene/metal heterostructures and their application in biosensing by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The heterostructures are fabricated by selective deposition of gold colloidal nanoparticles onto silicon substrate, where the termination of both the gold colloidal solution and the silicon surface is controlled. Further, the assembled gold colloids are overlaid by graphene monolayer. The experiments have proved, that it is possible to observe the presence of biomolecules at very low concentrations if the parameters of graphene/metal heterostructures are well selected. The combination of both graphene and metal SERS properties have demonstrated their appropriateness for utilization in bisensing.

Čalkovský, Vojtěch ; Bábor, Petr (referee) ; Mach, Jindřich (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the design of the atomic carbon source for deposition of graphene layers in UHV conditions. In the first part are briefly described the problems of epitaxial growth, the theory of atomic beams and theory of sublimation. The second part is aimed on graphene description, namely on his properties and on the growth of graphene layers, especially by molecular beam epitaxy. The third part contains brief description of detection and analysis methods of carbon atomic beams. In the practical part of this bachelor's thesis the design and the numeric calculations were made in Simion 8.0 and EOD program. Afterwards the atomic carbon source was constructed.

Fabrication of Nanostructures and Nanodevices for Nanoelectronics and Spintronics
Lišková, Zuzana ; Červenka, Jiří (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (referee) ; Šikola, Tomáš (advisor)
The thesis deals with preparation of graphene nanostructures and their applications in the measurement of transport properties of graphene. The contacts for measurement of resistance are fabricated by electron beam lithography on graphene exfoliated flakes, CVD graphene layers and grains. Graphene is also shaped using the same method. Resistivity of the layer, concentration and mobility of charge carriers are determined by different approaches. Hysteresis appearing in dependence of resistivity on the gate voltage is discussed as well. A significant part of the work is dedicated to monitoring the response of graphene resistance to relative humidity changes and potential use of graphene as a sensor of relative humidity.

UV detection by Grafen/GaN structures
Kostka, Marek ; Piastek, Jakub (referee) ; Mach, Jindřich (advisor)
This bachelor thesis covers fabrication as well as the study of behavior of UV sensor based on galium nitride structures on graphene substrate. The sensor takes advantage of high mobility of charge carriers in graphene and UV selective sensitivity of GaN nanoctystals. This combination exhibits a potential for being a UV sensor because of the unique properties brought by both materials. The first part of this work describes graphene, galium nitride and graphene/GaN heterostructure with their properties and fabrication processes. The second part includes full description of already used fabrication process and characterization of the optical and electrical behavior using photoluminiscence and transport properties measurements.
