Analysis of a-SiOC:H films by selected spectroscopic techniques
Ondreáš, František ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with preparation of thin plasma polymer films on the basis of tetravinylsilane by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition and film characterization by selected spectroscopic techniques. The theoretical part is a background research about plasma chemistry and spectroscopic methods of characterisation of thin plasma polymer films. The practical part consisted of preparation of two series of samples and their characterization. Prepared thin plasma polymer films were characterized by selected spectroscopic techniques. Thickness and optical constants were determined by spectroscopic elipsometry. Chemical structure was characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The results indicate the possibility of managing physico-chemical properties of thin plasma polymer films on the basis of tetravinylsilane by deposition conditions and thus possibility of preparation materials tailored to a variety of applications.

Testing of polymeric materials under climatic conditions of Antarctica
Mičkal, Petr ; Sluková, Michaela (referee) ; Krmíček, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis generally deals with polymer materials and evaluates the possibility of testing their resistance to extreme climates of Antarctica. Described herein are various polymer materials, their characteristics, structure, properties and more thorough and detailed descriptions of selected polymers. The next section describes the basic types of degradation these polymers are exposed to, when facing the extreme conditions of the Antarctic climate. The practical part contains evaluations of tests made on the degraded polymer materials that were collected in Antarctica during the southern Antarctic season of 2013-2014 by Ing. Bc. Pavel Kapler, Ph.D, who is a superintendent at the Czech scientific station JG Mendel.

Interpretation of the C=O band of modified diamond nanoparticles by means of DFT theory
Jirásek, Vít ; Kozak, Halyna ; Remeš, Zdeněk ; Kromka, Alexander
Diamond nanoparticles (DNPs) are an interesting class of nanomaterials, which has many unique properties. Their applications in medicine and molecular biology have been mentioned. The DNPs were reviewed in sense of their surface chemistry and a range of analytic techniques was pointed out. The experimental analysis can be enhanced by theoretical models based on the first principles. An approach to theoretical analysis of infrared spectra was introduced. As an example, a part of FTIR spectra of the oxidized DNPs was interpreted by means of the DFT theory. The calculation of the C=O stretch vibrational frequencies of carboxylic and anhydride groups on certain model clusters enabled to explain the shift and splitting of the measured spectral bands.

Study of bio-compatible materials using FTIR spectroscopy
Zezulová, M. ; Jelínek, Miroslav
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is used for the measurement of absorption spectra of analyzed material in IR wavelength region. We studied TiO2 layers prepared by PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition) method. We measured IR spectra in region 600-100 cm-1 and 4000-600 cm-1. During the measurement of samples with different accessories we found strong IR spectra in region 600-100 cm-1 on the samples exhibited brookite phase.

Study of biocompatible layers TiO.sub.2./sub./Si using FTIR spectroscopy
Zezulová, M. ; Remsa, Jan ; Jelínek, M.
There has been a great interest in research regarding titanium dioxide, especially in form of thin layers. One of the methods used to characterize this material is Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). In this paper we report FTIR measurement results of TiO2 layers prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition method. The layers were created on silicon (111) substrates (1x1 cm). FTIR spectrometer is based on absorption of infrared radiation and the interference process is implemented instead of classical dispersion method. This kind of spectrometer requires mathematical method of Fourier transform to gain classical spectral image. To see composition and crystalline structure the spectral region is frequently set to 600-100 cm-1. Around 50 samples were measured. Most samples were measured from different angles of incidence and with different setup (accessory). We were able to confirm different crystalline structure (anatase,rutile, and brookite)

Experience with optical measurements of thin films
Remeš, Zdeněk
In this article I summarize my experience with measurement of the optical properties of thin layers. Article has three parts. The first part focuses on the measurement of optical spectra in the medium infrared region, in the second part I discuss the optical spectra in the near ultraviolet, visible and near infrared region and in the third part I discuss the optical spectroscopy done with the help of the optical microscope.
