Structure and magnetic interactions in nanomaterials with application potential
Pacáková, Barbara ; Kalbáčová Vejpravová, Jana (advisor) ; Jirásková, Yvona (referee) ; Svoboda, Pavel (referee)
The thesis is focused on the physics of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), starting from the solution of magnetic structure, internal alignment within the single particle and role of interactions and particle structure in magnetic response of systems of the NPs. Moreover, the macroscopic arrangement of the NPs and its effect on the properties of system containing the NPs are discussed. The work brings several new results and concepts, such as the solution of magnetic structure of the ε-Fe2O3 phase, methods of proper detection and description of magnetic metal catalyst in carbon nanotubes and role of the NP arrangement and their effect on graphene placed on the top of substrates decorated with the NPs. 1

Study of diffractive processes at the ATLAS Experiment
Kůs, Vlastimil ; Taševský, Marek (advisor) ; Royon, Christophe (referee) ; Valkárová, Alice (referee)
Title: Study of diffractive processes at the ATLAS Experiment Author: Vlastimil Kůs Department: Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Supervisor: Mgr. Marek Taševský, Ph.D. Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the CR, v.v.i. Abstract: A data sample of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated lumi- nosity of 6.75 nb−1 was collected at √ s = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Collision events with at least two jets with pT > 20 GeV are used to measure the differential cross section of the diffractive dijet production as a function of the rapidity gap size ∆ηF , the largest forward region extending from |η| = 4.8 devoid of particle activity above threshold momentum cuts, and an estimator of the fractional momentum loss of the scattered proton assuming the single diffractive dissociation (pp → pX), ˜ξ± . Comparisons with various Monte Carlo models reveal that though the region of small ˜ξ± and large rapidity gaps is dominated by diffraction, a contribution form non-diffractive events cannot be neglected. The rapidity gap survival probability is estimated based on data to Monte Carlo comparisons in the −3.2 < log10 ˜ξ± < −2.5 region of the ˜ξ± distri- bution with the ∆ηF > 2 requirement. 1

The preparation and study of catalytic system Cu(O)-CeO2 using surface analytical methods
Šmíd, Břetislav ; Matolínová, Iva (advisor) ; Plšek, Jan (referee) ; Sofer, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: The preparation and study of catalytic system Cu(O)-CeO2 using surface analytical methods Author: Břetislav Šmíd Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Doc. Mgr. Iva Matolínová, Dr. Abstract: This work is concerned with a study of copper/copper oxide - cerium dioxide systems and their interaction with CO and H2O molecules. Investigated samples were prepared in the form of powder catalysts and also as very well defined model inverse systems. The low temperature CO oxidation powder catalysts were studied by means of XPS, XRD, SEM, TEM and in micro-reactor system allowing the CO oxidation examination. The study of H2O adsorption and co-adsorption of H2O with CO were carried out on model inverse systems CeOx(111)/Cu(111) in ultra-high vacuum conditions using X-ray, synchrotron radiation (SRPES), resonant (RPES) photoelectron spectroscopies and LEED. It was observed on the stoichiometric surface water adsorbs molecularly at 120 K while on the reduced surface and surface of CeO2 islands on Cu(111) the H2O adsorption is partially dissociative with formation of OH groups. The increase of Ce3+ species (i.e. surface reduction) observed after H2O adsorption was explained as an electronic effect of the Ce 4f charge accumulation and Ce 5d charge depletion....

Measurement of Diffractive Dijet Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA Collider
Pokorný, Boris ; Valkárová, Alice (advisor) ; Kupčo, Alexander (referee) ; Leitner, Rupert (referee)
The diffractive production of two jets in deep inelastic e± p scattering is mea- sured in the kinematic region of photon virtuality 4 < Q2 < 80 GeV2 , inelasticity 0.1 < y < 0.7, momentum fraction xIP < 0.03, proton ver- tex momentum transfer |t| < 1 and mass of a dissociative baryonic system MY < 1.6 GeV. Diffractive events are identified with the large rapidity gap technique. Integrated and single differential cross sections are measured for jets of transverse momenta p∗ T1 > 5.5 GeV and p∗ T2 > 4.0 GeV and pseudora- pidities −3 < η∗ 1,2 < 0. The data were collected by the H1 experiment at the HERA collider in years 2005-2007, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 283.7 pb−1 . The measurements are compared with NLO predictions based on the DGLAP parton evolution.

Studium difrakčních ep interakcí na hadron-elektronovém collideru
Jansová, Markéta ; Valkárová, Alice (advisor) ; Žáček, Josef (referee)
A new ep collider LHeC is currently planned at CERN. LHeC should comple- ment the physics program of former ep collider HERA and existing hadron-hadron collider LHC. In the LHeC project the collisions of electrons with energy 60 GeV and protons with energy 7 TeV should be studied. The thesis is focused on the study of diffractive charged current deep inelastic scattering interactions, which had already been investigated at HERA collider (H1 experiment), but with un- satisfying statistics. This thesis reproduce Monte Carlo predictions obtained by H1 collaboration for this process and its main goal is calculation of diffractive charged current DIS cross section for future LHeC project.

Analysis of dijet events in diffractive ep interactions with tagged leading proton at the H1 experiment
Polifka, Richard ; Valkárová, Alice (advisor) ; Taševský, Marek (referee) ; Newman, Paul (referee)
Title: Analysis of dijet events in diffractive ep interactions with tagged leading proton at the H1 experiment Author: Richard Polifka Department: Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Supervisor: RNDr. Alice Valkárová, DrSc. Supervisor's e-mail address: avalkar@mail.desy.de Abstract: An inclusive dijet production in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering is measured. The diffractive selection is based on tagging of the leading proton in the Forward Proton Spectrometer. The statistics of events obtained during the HERA II running period (integrated luminosity of 156.7 pb−1 ) enables the measurement of jet final states with leading proton for the first time. The data cover the phase space of xIP < 0.1, |t| <= 1.0 GeV2 and 4 <= Q2 <= 110 GeV2 . The dijet data are compared with the next to leading order predictions of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The phase space of diffractive dijets is in this analysis by factor of 3 in xIP larger than in previous measurements. The QCD predictions based on the DGLAP parton evolution describe the measured data well even in a non-DGLAP enriched phase space where one on the jets goes into the region close to the direction of the outgoing proton. The measured single-differential cross sections are compared to several Monte Carlo models with different treatment of...

Light diffraction and interference in laboratory exercises
Dvořák, Tomáš ; Šicner, Jiří (referee) ; Škarvada, Pavel (advisor)
The main purpose of this semestral project is suggestion and construction the laboratory task for measuring interference and diffraction of light, which would be teached in laboratory of physics. According to gained informations about optical phenomenon, the physical construction of the laboratory task was made. Subsequently the CMOS camera was connected and installed. There was also developed a software for controlling this camera. Software is able to control all supported functions of camera, capture and save samples from live recording and show the intensity decomposition of captured images. The most important function of developed software is ability to measure distances between particular diffraction local extremes.

Optical Field Evaluations for Hologram Synthesis
Fedorko, Matúš ; Polok, Lukáš (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
The primary concern of this work is computer generated holography, in particular accelerating computation of synthetic holograms by means of modern-day massively parallel graphics chips. It starts by introducing fundamental holography principles together with mathematical and physical concepts behind it. Following discussion then deals with OpenCL, which is a relatively new, but well recognized standard for GP-GPU programming. Finally, the last two chapters of this work give an overview of problem analysis and its implementation in C++.
