Komora, Mojmír ; Mach, Jindřich (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with an experimental preparation and analysis of ultra thin films of iron phtalocyanines on silicon substrates with goal to describe parameters of films prepared under different conditions, e.g deposition time or substrate temperature. Preparation of samples was done using MBE method under conditions of ultrahigh vacuum in vacuum chamber. Analysis of chemical composition and morfology of prepared films was done with methods of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy, respectively.

Epitaxial growth of cobalt islands via oxide mediated epitaxy
Stará, Veronika ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with preparation, growth and analysis of cobalt thin films. The films are formed on silicon (111) samples covered with a thin layer of native oxide SiO2. Cobalt thin films were prepared using oxide mediated epitaxy method with the effusion cell as a source of cobalt atoms. Composition and morphology of the resulting Co system was studied as a function of the annealing temperature. Another goal of this research was to determine the dependence of the final island shape on the amount of deposited material and substrate orientation. The prepared structures were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. To determine the thickness of subsurface islands the samples were etched in buffered hydrofluoric acid and analyzed using above mentioned methods.

Mechanical activation of chemical reactions at interfaces of MDF composites
Matoušek, David ; Másilko, Jiří (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The thesis deals with study of mechnochemical activation of chemical reactions at interphase of MDF composites. MDF composites are high-perspective composite materials on polymer-cement base. They excel especially in terms of flexural strengths. High flexural stregth is caused by binding interactions between the polymer and the cement. This interactions arise due to mechanochemical activation of raw material mixture at the stage of production. This work focuses on the creation of artificial cement-polymer interphase by contacting the surfaces of two molded tablets (polyvinyl alcohol and monocalcium aluminate), activation of chemical reactions at interphase by means of specially designed appartus, which achieves good plane-parallelism of activation surfaces and good definability of activation conditions (shear rate, pressure). After experiments under different conditions, the activated surfaces are analyzed by SEM, EDS, XPS and FT-IR.

Porting NetCOPE Platform to EDK
Palička, Jan ; Košař, Vlastimil (referee) ; Viktorin, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with porting of NetCOPE to Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK). Main task is to create annotation of NetCOPE hardware for using in EDK. Before implementation of annotation itself, it is necessary both to study FPGA technology, possibilities of FPGA progamming, NetCOPE platform and PSF for anotation of NetCOPE’s IP-core.

Surface Analysis by Photoelectrons – Computer Control of Experiments
Polčák, Josef ; Zemek, Josef (referee) ; Cháb, Vladimír (referee) ; Šikola, Tomáš (advisor)
Doctoral thesis is dealing with the methods for analysis of surfaces by photoelectrons being emitted by X-ray radiation. The methods are: X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy - XPS, Angle-resolved XPS - ARXPS and X-ray Photoelectron Diffraction - XPD. The work is especially focused on a method of ARXPS, which is used for the depth compositional analysis of sample surfaces. To obtain an information about the depth composition from the measured ARXPS spectra, a calculation software in the Matlab environment has been developed. The software has been tested both for simulated and real sample data. For an experimental implementation of these methods, a complete manipulation system has been developed. It ensures the transport of samples inside a vacuum apparatus and the experiment itself. The system is controlled mainly by a software and enables to run the experiments automatically.

High Performance Polymer Composites
Bábík, Adam ; Lapčík,, Lubomír (referee) ; Prokeš, Jan (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
High performance polymer composites are materials with emphasis on specific chemical and mechanical properties due to their broad scope of applications. The main advantages are high strenght and toughness in comparison with their low weight and density. An increased adhesion at composite interfaces is important to ensure excellent composite properties. Bundles of glass fibers were coated by plasma-polymerised interlayers of tetravinylsilane (pp-TVS) of different thicknesses and at different effective powers. The prepared interlayers of pp-TVS were analyzed to evaluate chemical composition (RBS, FTIR, XPS) and mechanical properties (NI-AFM). Microindentation test and fiber-bundle pull-out test were used to determine the interfacial shear strenght.

Selective growth of metallic materials.
Šimíková, Michaela ; Schneeweiss, Oldřich (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with selective growth of cobalt thin films on lattices created by focused ion beam on Si(111) substrates with thin film of silicon dioxide. Further, the growth and morphology of iron thin films growing on Si/SiO2 substrate without modification was studied. In the last part, thin film of a-C:H, influence of preparation parameters on their growth and ratio of sp2 and sp3 bonds, was investigated. For analysis of those films XPS, AFM, and SEM metods were used.

Development of Atomic- and Ion Beam Sources
Šamořil, Tomáš ; Lencová, Bohumila (referee) ; Mach, Jindřich (advisor)
The objective of this master thesis was to provide the optimization of an ion-atom beam source for the improvement of its properties. The improvement of the parameters increases the efficiency of the source during the deposition of gallium nitride ultrathin films (GaN) being important in microeletronics and optoelectronics. After optimization, the depositions of GaN ultrathin films on Si(111) 7x7 at lower temperatures (

Deposition and analysis of DLC thin films
Rudolf, Miroslav ; Čech, Vladimír (referee) ; Šikola, Tomáš (advisor)
Diplomová práce nastiňuje problémy spojené s výrobou a analýzou tenkých vrstev DLC:H. Tyto vrstvy jsou ve středu zájmu mnoha vědeckých pracovníků již po několik desetiletí. V současné době existuje mnoho technik pro přípravu a analýzu. Příprava DLC vrstev má zásadní vliv na jejich vlastnosti a možnosti použití. Je zde mnoho kritérií jak vrstvy posuzovat. V této práci jsou studovány vlastnosti DLC:H vrstev připravených na substrát krystalického křemíku metodou RF-PECVD a následně jsou studovány mechanické, tribologické a optické vlastnosti. Jsou zde využity techniky jako XPS, Ramanova spektroskopie, reflektometrie, měření tvrdosti a adheze. Část práce se zabývá modelováním DLC z prvních principů. Pro tento účel je využito prvoprincipiálního programu Abinit který je šířen pod GPL. Je studována otázka přípravy vstupních dat s ohledem na konvergenci výsledků. Pozornost je také věnována výpočtu vibračních spekter ve středu Brillouinovy zóny ( bod) a celkové hustotě elektronových stavů clusteru DLC v supercele tvaru krychle. Tyto výsledky mohou být porovnány s experimentálně získanými daty z Ramanovy spektroskopie, respektive z XPS spektra valenčního pásu
