Design of manipulator for ultrahigh electron microscope
Caesar, Radek ; Mach, Jindřich (referee) ; Bábor, Petr (advisor)
The main purpose of this thesis is mechanical design of a manipulator for an ultra-high vacuum scanning electron microscope (UHV SEM), being currently developed by TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING a.s. in cooperation with the Institute of physical engineering FME BUT. The manipulator is supposed to be able to handle with specimens in so-called preparation chamber, which the specimens are put in before placing into the analytic chamber. In the preparation chamber the surface finishing and also other operations are made. In the theoretical part some of the technologies used in vacuum engineering, especially various principles of pressure measurement and gas pumping, are described. Besides, the thesis is focused on a brief description of UHV SEM being developed and the methods of specimen preparation. The practical part deals with the concept and the mechanical design of manipulator itself.

Nanostructured sensors for detection of organic compounds
Šťávová, Karolína ; Fohlerová, Zdenka (referee) ; Hrdý, Radim (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the fabrication of sensitive layers composed of an array of gold nanorods and their modifications. Firstly, a nanoporous mask is made from a layer of aluminum using a method called anodic oxidation. Afterwards electrochemical deposition of gold and polypyrrole or gold and mercury is carried out into the mask. The sensitive layer is characterized by the scanning electron microscopy and other methods for elemental analysis. A sensor with this type of sensitive layer can be used for the detection of various organic compounds.

SiO2 etching by Si deposition
Pokorný, David ; Bábor, Petr (referee) ; Polčák, Josef (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with one of the most interesting reactions taking place in the solid phase in UHV conditions and that is decomposition of SiO2 according to the equation Si + SiO2 = 2SiO. It was used the previously untested procedure - providing Si atoms not from substrate, but by direct deposition on the surface of the oxide. As a source of silicon atoms was used effusion cell. Deposition of silicon on SiO2 substrate was used at room temperature and at elevated temperature to clarify the principle of this reaction. The activation energy and temperature dependence of the reaction rate was determined. It was also verified the possibility of etching SiO2 by Si deposition in UHV conditions. The prepared samples were examined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy.

Assessment of potentially toxic element contents in forest soils of selected regions with differing level of pollution
Džermanská, Lenka ; Borůvka, Luboš (advisor) ; Přemysl, Přemysl (referee)
The work is focused for the use of the monitoring of the content of RP realized ÚKZÚZ in forest soils Novohradské Mountains and the Beskydy mountain, statistical assessment of the level of RP content in soils and their spatial distribution and evaluation of the influence of factors, statistical comparison between the different areas of content, different types of vegetation, soil horizons (analysis of variance, t-test). They assessed the relationship between the content of individual RP and RP between content and soil properties (correlation and regression analysis). The work also contains maps of the spatial distribution of content RP in forest soils of the area.

Deposition of magnetic nanostructures using EBID and optimalization of their chemical composition and morphology
Vyroubal, Ondřej ; Kolíbalová, Eva (referee) ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with deposition of cobalt nanostructures using Electron Beam Induced Depositon (EBID). The thesis firstly describes theoretical background regarding EBID. In the following experimental part, the deposition process is optimized via analysis of exposition parameters and their influence on the final shape of nanostructures. These are analyzed via Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Optimized exposure parameters are then applied to the deposition of functional 3-dimensional nanostrucutres. In particular, the deposition of cobalt spheres. The elemental composition is analyzed by the means of element composition using Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and the nanostructures of desired morphologies are studied with Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) and Magneto-Optical Kerr Microscope).

Thin Film Electrodes for Electrochromic Devices
Macalík, Michal ; Kadlec, Jaromír (referee) ; Nováková,, Sabina (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
The work deals with the deposition of layers for electrochromic device with different methods. Transparent electrically conductive layer of SnO2 was deposited by pyrolytic decomposition of peroxostannate solution. Hydrogen peroxide in starting solution contributes to the oxidation process of growth layers and to increase the electrical conductivity. Active electrochromic layer of WO3 was electrolytic deposited from the peroxotungstic acid solution. Optimal deposition time and the optimal annealing temperature of deposited layers were found. Passive electrochromic layer of V2O5 was deposited using dip-coating method from peroxovanadate solution. A contribution of solution diluted with distilled water was investigated. Found results were used to construct complete electrochromic device with polymer gel electrolyte.

Deposition of environmental dust particles
Bělka, Miloslav ; Pospíšil, Jiří (referee) ; Jedelský, Jan (advisor)
This work is aimed at deposition of fibers, which are able to penetrate deeper in the human respiratory airways and cause health hazards. Opening chapters are dedicated to classification of aerosols, human lung anatomy basics and methods for measurement of micrometer-sized aerosols. An experiment was carried out to investigate the deposition of fibers. Fibers were delivered into the silicon cast of the human airways and data of deposition fraction and efficiency were acquired. A new method was established to acquire the data. This method works on a principle of image analysis. Results of the new method were compared with a standard method, which follows a methodology NIOSH 7400.
