Strain, stress and strength analysis of the high pressure compound vessel by finite element method
Koutský, Jiří ; Suchánek, Miroslav (referee) ; Vrbka, Jan (advisor)
Strength and strain analysis of high pressure compound vessel, which is used to produce superhard materials (for example synthetic diamond). This work was elaborated to compare the stresses and strains calculated by Prof. Jan Vrbka making use of the FEM program ‘Prokop’17 years ago with those gained with the contemporary FEM Ansys program. The vessel is loaded by internal pressure of size 6 GPa. The elastic-plastic material be-haviour is taken into account. Real value of friction between rings and non-uniform temperature field is included into the calculation. The process of assembling the compound vessel is simulated step by step.

Carbon Based Materials
Hrazdíra, Matěj ; Čelko, Ladislav (referee) ; Klakurková, Lenka (advisor)
The proposed bachelor thesis deals with carbon based materials. First of all, an overview of its allotropic modifications including newly discovered forms, conditions of their existence and also their basic properties is shown. Further the extraction of carbon materials is briefly introduced. In the next chapters, forms of carbon are classified and particularly described individually with respect to manufacturing technologies and further applications. Individual chapters are dedicated to synthetic carbon and graphite, carbon fibers and carbon fiber reinforced composites. Manufacturing processes of synthetic carbon and graphite, involving possible precursors, are described in detail together with their use in various engineering applications. The following part is dedicated to carbon fibers, in particular to the manufacturing process based on the precursor used including surface treatment and sizing. Additionally the use of virgin carbon fibers is also described. The last part is focused on carbon fiber reinforced composites. Firstly possible distributions of carbon fibers in a matrix are described. Then the technology of manufacturing, properties and use of single composites according to the matrix material are expounded.

Creating Methodology for Independent Verification of Monitor Unit Calculation for Department of Oncology at Hospital Ceske Budejovice
ADENSAMOVÁ, Jana
The Bachelor's thesis deals with the planning of radiotherapy in general and with planning systems which are used at the Department of Oncology of České Budějovice Hospital, a.s. A planning system is a software that is used to calculate the dose distribution of each beamlet in patients and critical organs. Currently, České Budějovice Hospital uses the Eclipse planning system by Varian. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is divided into five chapters, which briefly summarizes knowledge on radiotherapy, the planning of radiotherapy, and planning systems. In the Eclipse system, I describe particularly the algorithms and their use. The description of the DIAMOND software covers mainly the control of MU and doses in plans generated by the Eclipse program. The main goal of the thesis was to develop a methodology for an independent verification of the calculation of monitor units and to determine the allowable deviations. The practical part of the thesis deals primarily with the development of the methodology of working in the DIAMOND program and the verification of radiotherapy plans generated by the Eclipse system. The chapter 'Results' offers a scheme for the calculation of MU and doses in the DIAMOND program. It describes individual steps which should be followed in order to allow for verification. Furthermore, it presents a table with results of the verification of the plan for tangential field technique in the irradiation of breast cancer. Other tables list the doses calculated by the Eclipse planning system and the DIAMOND program for IMRT technique (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) in the irradiation of prostate cancer. In the technique of two tangential fields, deviations of MU were calculated between the calculations made by the Eclipse planning system and those generated by the DIAMOND software. In the IMRT technique with seven fields (5 whole fields + 2 split fields), doses deviations were defined during the calculation of the irradiation plan. The technique of seven fields (5+2) was chosen because of the simplicity of calculation. The question remains whether an independent calculation of monitor units will help to eliminate gross errors in the calculation of irradiation plans.

In situ XPS characterization of diamond films after AR.sup.+./sup. cluster ion beam sputtering
Artemenko, Anna ; Babchenko, Oleg ; Kozak, Halyna ; Ukraintsev, Egor ; Ižák, Tibor ; Romanyuk, Olexandr ; Potocký, Štěpán ; Kromka, Alexander
In this work, in situ XPS analysis of chemical composition of H- and O-terminated nano- and microcrystalline diamond (NCD and MCD) films before and after their sputtering by the Ar+ cluster ion beam was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed sputtering of all diamond surfaces with a rate about 0.5 nm/min. Raman spectroscopy and XPS revealed surface graphitization of diamond surface induced by sputtering. Moreover, XPS data showed the presence of about 0.7 % of Ar atoms on the investigated diamond surface after 66 min of sputtering. Also, oxygen residuals were still presented on the H-NCD surface after 66 min of sputtering. In contrast, no oxygen was found on the H-MCD surface just after 2 min of sputtering. Surface composition is discussed in respect to the diamond films growth parameters and surface structure.

Hydrogen-terminated diamond surface as gas sensing layer working at room temperature
Davydova, Marina ; Kulha, P. ; Babchenko, Oleg ; Kromka, Alexander
Effect of fluorine- and hydrogen-terminated diamond surface on the gas sensing properties at room temperature was investigated. The gas sensing properties diamond-based sensor were measured by the changes of electrical resistance to various volatile organic compounds (C6H6, C3H6O, isopropylalcohol) and relative humidity. The comparative sensing performance of hydrogenated diamond surface shows improvement in sensitivity toward benzene, acetone, isopropylalcohol and humid air in contrast to fluorinated diamond surface, where the surface conductivity was suppressed.
