The O-18(p, alpha)N-15 reaction rate has been deduced by means of the Trojan horse method. For the first time the contribution of the 20 keV resonance has been directly evaluated, giving a value about 35% larger than the one in the literature. Moreover, the present approach has allowed to improve the accuracy by a factor 8.5, as it is based on the measured strength instead of spectroscopic measurements. The contribution of the 90 keV resonance has been also determined, which turned out to be of negligible importance to astrophysics.

Interactions of migrating giant planets and small solar-system bodies
Chrenko, Ondřej ; Brož, Miroslav (advisor)
Changes of semimajor axes of giant planets, which took place 4 billion years ago and evolved the Solar System towards its present state, affected various populations of minor Solar-System bodies. One of these populations was a group of dynamically stable asteroids in the 2:1 mean-motion resonance with Jupiter which reside in two islands of the phase space, denoted A and B, and exhibit lifetimes comparable to the age of the Solar System. The origin of stable asteroids has not been explained so far. Our main goal is to create a viable hypothesis of their origin. We update the resonant population and its physical properties on the basis of up-to-date observational data. Using an N-body model with seven giant planets and the Yarkovsky effect included, we demonstrate that the depletion of island A is faster compared to island B. We then investigate: (i) survivability of primordial resonant asteroids and (ii) capture of the population during planetary migration, using a recently described scenario with an escaping fifth giant planet and a jumping-Jupiter instability. We employ simulations with prescribed migration, smooth late migration and we statistically evaluate the results using dynamical maps. We also model collisions during the last 4 billion years. We conclude that the long-lived group was created by a...

Numerical assessment of stability of the ball vibration absorber
Fischer, Cyril ; Náprstek, Jiří
The ball vibration absorber (BVA) is in principle a heavy ball rolling inside a semi-spherical cavity. It is a convenient alternative to the usual pendulum-based dampers. The dynamics of the real ball absorber is significantly more complicated in comparison to the pendulum one. However, the numerical examination of the non-linear model of the BVA indicates that its resonance behaviour is similar to the spherical pendulum. Despite the theoretical differences, the resonance curves in both cases form similar patterns. It seems that detailed study of both separate cases can provide complementary results, whose parallels appear in the other model.

A model of resonant collisions of electrons with molecules and molecular ions
Váňa, Martin ; Houfek, Karel (advisor) ; Cejnar, Pavel (referee) ; Mašín, Zdeněk (referee)
A two-dimensional model of the resonant electron-molecule collision processes with one nuclear and one electronic degree of freedom introduced by Houfek, Rescigno and McCurdy [Phys. Rev. A 73, 032721 (2006)] and a similar two- dimensional model of the dissociative recombination with potential proposed by Hamilton [Ph.D. thesis, University of Colorado, (2003)] are formulated within the time-dependent framework and solved numerically using the finite-element method with the discrete variable representation basis, the exterior complex scaling method and the generalized Crank-Nicolson method. On the model of electron-molecule collisions we illustrate how the time-dependent calculations can provide a deep insight into the origin of oscillatory structures in the vibrational excitation cross sections if one evaluates the cross sections not only at sufficiently large time to obtain the final cross sections, but rather at several characteristic times which are given by the evolution of the system. With use of the time- dependent calculations we demonstrate the complex nature of the dissociative recombination model dynamics and we propose the interpretation of the recom- bination process mechanism. We also propose few techniques for the explanation of the sharp structures in the dissociative recombination cross sections...

Computing resonance widths using square integrable basis
Votavová, Petra ; Kolorenč, Přemysl (advisor) ; Houfek, Karel (referee)
Four different non-orthogonal basis sets are studied and compared in order to obtain the resonance properties of a model scattering problem. In particular, two types of Gaussian basis sets, one B-spline basis set and one hybrid Gaussian - B-spline basis set. Their ability to represent the scattering continuum is investigated along with their numerical properties. Particular attention is paid to the energy range within which each basis set gives reasonably accurate values of the phase shift and the decay width. The radial Schrödinger equation is solved by the Löwdin's symmetric orthogonalization method and the decay width is extracted by the Stieltjes imaging procedure. The R-matrix method within the framework of Feshbach-Fano projection operator formalism with polynomial basis set is utilized as a numerically exact reference method.

Solution of integral equations for separable interactions
Hvizdoš, Dávid ; Horáček, Jiří (advisor) ; Kolorenč, Přemysl (referee)
Title: Solution of integral equations for separable interactions Author: Dávid Hvizdoš Department: Institute of Theoretical Physics Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Jiří Horáček, DrSc., Institute of Theoretical Physics Abstract: This work deals with the most fundamental types of integral equations (Fredholm and Volterra). Their occurrence in quantum mechanics is illustrated and the process that leads to the so-called regular and Jost solution is presented. Further their solutions in the case of separable interactions are studied. Analytical solutions on model separable potentials are sought. Analytical extensions of these solutions to the complex energy plane are provided and the properties of these functions are examined. The method of analytical continuation in the coupling constant based on the extension of the coupling constant as a function of is introduced. For some examples of separable potentials the Taylor expansion of the function and from it the inverse series √ are calculated. These series are then used to determine the resonance parameters of the potential and the accuracy of these calculations is discussed. Key words: integral equations, scattering theory, resonances, separable potential

Studies of Lanthanide Complexes by a Combination of Spectroscopic Methods
Krupová, Monika ; Bouř, Petr (advisor) ; Kapitán, Josef (referee)
Studies of Lanthanide Complexes by a Combination of Spectroscopic Methods Monika Krupová (Department of Physical and Macromoecular Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague) Since conventional structural analysis offers rather limited means for the chirality detection, a series of lanthanide tris-(β-diketonates) are investigated as effective receptors for a better chirality sensing in biomolecular substrates. These lanthanide complexes containing β-diketonate ligands are electrically neutral; they can further coordinate with various small organic molecules such as chiral alcohols, amino alcohols or amino acids in organic solvents and produce a strong chiral signal. Previously, a resonance in Raman scattering was observed in the studied systems due to the correspondence of europium electronic transition energy to the laser excitation wavelength, about a 100-fold signal enhancement if compared to non-resonant vibrational ROA was observed. This enabled shorter detection times as well as lower sample concentrations. In the current work, interaction of the Eu(FOD) complex with (R)- and (S)- enantiomer of 1-phenylethanol in n-hexane was studied using IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Raman optical activity (ROA), UV-Vis spectroscopy and ultraviolet circular dichroism (UVCD).

Patočka's Philosophy of Literature
Ficencová, Natálie ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor) ; Dadejík, Ondřej (referee)
The work deals with an analysis of Patočka's conception of literature and writing. It aims to explain basic arguments which are necessary for understanding Patočka's conception of art. It tries to show us the way how literature helps us to see the meaning of the world. The work also deals with the relations between literature and conception of life movements, between language and world and with the relation between literature and myth. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the uniqueness and exceptionality of literature compared to other types of art in the work of Jan Patočka. Keywords Jan Patočka, phenomenology, literature, resonance, life meaning Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
