Detection of Localized Surface Plasmons on Metal Nanostructures
Konečná, Andrea ; Dub, Petr (referee) ; Kalousek, Radek (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with theoretical and experimental study of localized surface plasmons excited on metal nanostructures. Analytical calculations were compared to simulations and measurements using assembled apparatus and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) in infrared range. Obtained results were discussed considering both validity of performed approximations and quality of manufactured nanostructures.

Preparation and Characterization of Graphene Based Hybrid Materials
Hrubý, Jakub ; Novák, Jiří (referee) ; Neugebauer, Petr (advisor)
Grafen v kombinaci s komplexy kovů by mohl poskytnout nové přísutpy v hybridních materiálech založených na grafenové bázi a v oblasti molekulárního magnetismu. Obě témata jsou velmi diskutovaná jako taková, nicméně, výzkumu vedoucího k možnosti jejich míchání není mnoho. Vzorky byly připraveny sonikací grafitu v kapalné fázi, což vedlo k exfoliaci grafenu. Následně byly nadeponovány pomocí modiikované Lagmuirovy– Schaeferovy depoziční metody různé komplexy kovů na substrát pokrytý grafenem. Klíčovým krokem bylo určení vlastností takto připraveného materiálu. Proto byly následně vlastnosti takového hybridního materiálu charakterizovány pomocí vysokofrekvenční elektronové paramagnetické rezonance (angl. HFEPR), rastrovacího elektronového mikroskopu, (angl. SEM), Ramanovou spektroskopií a čtyř bodovou metodou měření odporu. V této práci jsme potvrdili naši presumpci, že je možné vytvořit hybridní materiál smícháním exfoliovaného grafenu s molekulárními magnety pro získání nových magnetických a elektronických vlastností, které by mohly být využity v další generaci detektorů a elektroniky.

Exploitng sparse signal representations in capturing and recovery of nuclear magnetic resonance data
Hrbáček, Radek ; Zátyik, Ján (referee) ; Rajmic, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the nuclear magnetic resonance field, especially spectroscopy and spectroscopy imaging, sparse signal representation and low-rank approximation approaches. Spectroscopy imaging methods are becoming very popular in clinical praxis, however, long measurement times and low resolution prevent them from their spreading. The goal of this thesis is to improve state of the art methods by using sparse signal representation and low-rank approximation approaches. The compressed sensing technique is demonstrated on the examples of magnetic resonance imaging speedup and hyperspectral imaging data saving. Then, a new spectroscopy imaging scheme based on compressed sensing is proposed. The thesis deals also with the in vivo spectrum quantitation problem by designing the MRSMP algorithm specifically for this purpose.

Preparation and Characterization of Drug Carrier Systems on the Basis of Magnetic Nanoparticles
Chvátalová, Barbora ; Burdíková, Jana (referee) ; Kalina, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the study of magnetic nanoparticles, optimizing their preparation and stabilization. The nanoparticles with different ratios of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions were prepared by coprecipitation by variously concentrated sodium hydroxide. Three samples of particles were selected and were further observed. Their stability in Milli-Q water, buffer, polyvinylalcohol, hyaluronic acid and chitosan was studied in function of time using methods of dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering. By UV-VIS spectrometry it was confirmed that the magnetic nanoparticles were actually prepared. Nanoparticles coated with chitosan and hyaluronic acid were then further characterized using FT-IR, XRD and SEM.

Vybíral, Dominik ; Šedivá, Soňa (referee) ; Havránek, Zdeněk (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on measuring of concentration of dissolved oxygen in water, particularly on fiber optics sensors based on fluorescence quenching. An overwiev of fiber optics probes was written. An integration was designed using fiber optics probe FOXY-R, spectrometer USB4000, monochromatic light source LLS-470 and bifurcated optical fiber BIF 600. Measuring application was designed using LabVIEW.

Design of Compact Spectrometer
Górová, Simona ; Haltof, Vladimír (referee) ; Fridrichová, Eva (advisor)
The content of this bachelor thesis is a design of table FTIR spectrometer which can be used for nowadays analytical techniques, whereas it allows to analyse samples of larger size. Moreover, an added value is a combination of two analytical methods which are placed together with a camera from bellow of the device. It makes the device usable, not only for contemporary target workplaces (laboratories, research centers…) but also in galleries and other art institutions. Default step for this work was a market research, studying of inner components and functions od spectrometers and user requirements.

Design of an optomechanical module for laser-induced plasma imaging
Buday, Jakub ; Hrdlička, Aleš (referee) ; Pořízka, Pavel (advisor)
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a method of analytical chemistry that provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of a sample. The ablation process of a sample is fast and dynamic and the change of plasma in time and space is a question of a few microseconds. An examination that provides a good time and space resolution is necessary to understand better the physical processes. For this reason, the goal of this thesis is to design a basic optomechanic construction for this type of experiment. Furthermore, it is important to check the functionality of this design and to use it for a basic comparison between the spectroscopic and imaging data. Also, the time development of plasma will be observed under different experimental conditions. The goal of this thesis, in general, is to prove that the morphology of plasma is as it is described in available related literature.

Remote Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
Novotný, Jan ; Zemánek, Pavel (referee) ; Pína,, Ladislav (referee) ; Kaiser, Jozef (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with the development of the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) setup in the modification for the mobile remote material analysis (so called rLIBS). The experimental device is developed at the Institute of Physical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME), Brno University of Technology (BUT). Such a modification is possible due to the core principles of LIBS technique, i.e. using a laser for a sample excitation and plasma radiation for spectral analysis. The thesis is focused on the variation called Stand-Off LIBS with the target analyte in the distance of 6 meters. In this case the laser pulse and the plasma radiation are transmitted through the local environment (usually the air) and the direct device-to-sample visibility is expected. The motivation for this development is to avoid traditional processes of sample collection, preparation and transport that are time-consuming, expensive and sometimes even hard to realize. Stand-Off LIBS allows bringing all the LIBS technique benefits from the laboratory to the field, where fast, in-situ analysis can be carried out. The first part of the thesis focuses on the history and principles of the Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (AES), as it is the main principle of LIBS technique. The second part describes the history, theory, instrumentation and applications of LIBS as a modern analytical tool. This part also introduces the remote mobile modification – rLIBS, as well as the current state of knowledge and the state of the development in LIBS laboratories worldwide. The third part describes the individual stages of the rLIBS development at the Institute of Physical Engineering, FME BUT. This chapter details the focusing optics design, building of the collection optics, design and construction of the detection unit, motorized stage and mobile track. This section contains also the results of the test spectroscopy measurements and movement ability measurements.

Kadlec, Michal ; Frk, Martin (referee) ; Rozsívalová, Zdenka (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the preparation of test samples of paint-filled micronized mica and analysis of electrical properties of insulating material values in different environmental conditions. For this purpose, it was created five sets of composite paint primers with different ratio of mica. Samples were gradually exposed to the environment relative humidity of 0%, 33%, 55%, 65% and 75%. For each environment with a defined moisture characteristics were observed in samples exposed to the temperature of 20 to 50 ° C. The diploma paper analyzed the influence of the mass implementation of mica in each set of samples and placed on the surface structure of samples.
