Microscopic characterization of graphene material and electronic quality across neighbouring, differently oriented copper grains
Čermák, Jan ; Yamada, T. ; Ganzerová, Kristína ; Rezek, Bohuslav
We study graphene grown across the boundary of three such grains having bright, medium, and dark color in reflection. Raman micro-spectroscopy proves presence of mostly a monoor bi-layer graphene on all the grains. Yet intensity of Raman 2D band is grain-dependent: highest at the darkest grain and lowest at the brightest one. Contrary, conductive atomic force microscopy detects the highest conductivity at the brightest grain and the lowest current at the darkest grain. This is attributed to dominant electrical current path through graphene and underlying oxide thickness of which also depends on the type of copper grain. We correlate and discuss the results with view to better understanding of graphene growth and electronic properties on large area copper substrates.

Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Mediated by Phthalocyanine Derivate
Klusáčková, Monika ; Janda, Pavel
The oxidation of ethylene and propylene respectively, mediated by thin layer -tetramethyltetra-3,4-pyridinoporphyrazinocobalt, simply called CoTmt-3,4-ppa, deposited on basal plane of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was studied in aqueous phosphate buffer phosphate solution by cyclic voltammetry, backscattering spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Our interest has been focused on optimizing conditions of electrocatalytic oxidation unsaturated hydrocarbon on electrode modified by pyridinoporphyrazine.

Adsorpce 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-fosfocholin na Au(111) a HOPG
Kocábová, Jana ; Sokolová, Romana
Molekula 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-fosfocholin (DPPC) (Obr. 1.) 1 patří mezi fosfolipidy (zwitterion fosfoglycerid), které jsou používané pro přípravu liposomálních monovrstev. V literatuře se stále setkáváme se snahou vytvořit modelové membrány buněk, tak abychom byli schopni pochopit jejich mechanismus a kinetiku vzniku a následně je mohli využit v biotechnologických aplikacích 2,3.

Nanometrology coordinate measurement machines uncertainties caused by frequency fluctuations of the laser
Hrabina, Jan ; Lazar, Josef ; Číp, Ondřej
One of considerable sources of displacement measurement uncertainty in nanometrology systems such as multidimensional interferometric positioning for local probe microscopy is the influence of amplitude and especially frequency noise of a laser source which powers the interferometers. We investigated the noise properties of several laser sources suitable for interferometry for micro- and nano-CMMs (coordinate measurement machines) and compared the results with the aim to find the best option. The influences of amplitude and frequency fluctuations were compared together with the noise and uncertainty contributions of other components of the whole measuring system. Frequency noise of investigated laser sources was measured by two approaches – at first with the help of frequency discriminator (Fabry-Perot resonator) converting the frequency (phase) noise into amplitude one and then directly through the measurement of displacement noise at the output of the interferometer fringe detection and position evaluation. Both frequency noise measurements and amplitude noise measurements were done simultaneously through fast and high dynamic range synchronous sampling to have the possibility to separate the frequency noise and to compare the recorded results.

Scanning Probe Microscopy: Measuring on Hard Surfaces
Matějka, Milan ; Urbánek, Michal ; Kolařík, Vladimír
During a measurement by scanning probe microscopy (SPM) an image artifacts can appear in a measurement data. The source of image artifacts during an SPM measurement could be in parts of the SPM tool: mechanical system, piezoelectric crystal, scanner electronic. However, the main source of image artifact is the probe tip geometry and properties of the sample. For example, probe wearing, which occurs during the contact measurement on a sample with a hard surface, could result in heavy probe shape change, causing probe-related image artifacts. Measurement could appear problematic on a sample with periodical relief structure (e.g. gratings with sub 10 μm periodicity) prepared in hard materials (e.g. silicon), when the structure height is greater than about 500 nm. In this case, probe can easily get struck during the scanning, on the hard surface as well as at the high aspect ratio relief structure, causing image artifact thus reducing measurement quality.

Mechanizmy podílející se na aktivaci sodíkového transportu TIP peptidem odvozeným z faktoru nádorové nekrózy
DULEBO, Alexander
Cyklický TIP peptid s lektínovou je odvozený ze 17 aminokyselin tumor nekrozního faktoru. Při aktivaci vstřebáváni vody ve zdravých a poškozených plicích in vivo hraje významnou medicínsky využitelnou úlohu. Zadržování kapaliny v plicních sklípcích a intersticiálních prostorech je život ohrožující stav zvaný plicní edém. V současné době je vysoká úmrtnost v důsledku plicního edému spojeného s fyziologickou disfunkcí kapilárně alveolární bariéry způsobována především neexistencí účinných léčiv bez vedlejších účinků. Je známo, že TIP peptid je schopen aktivovat transepiteliální transport sodíkových iontů, jenž je primárním procesem vedoucím k odstranění vody z plic. Bohužel, o mechanizmu účinku TIP peptidu není mnoho známo. Cílem této práce bylo zkoumat primární interakci TIP peptidu s plicními epiteliálními buňkami. S použitím široké škály nových metod a přístupů na úrovni jednotlivých molekul jsem zjišťoval (i) jak interaguje TIP peptid s molekulami na apikální straně plicních epiteliálních buněk? (ii) zda je pro aktivaci odstranění plicního edému TIP peptidem nezbytný jeho transport dovnitř epiteliálních buněk? (iii) jaká je povaha interakce TIP peptidu a jeho neznámého receptoru? (iv) jaká molekula slouží jako receptor pro TIP peptid?

Electrochemical sensor: Mediator Deposition by drop evaporation
Mansfeldová, Věra ; Janda, Pavel ; Tarábková, Hana
Among many different kinds of electrode surface modification procedures, the surface coating by vaporized mediator solution is still used as a simple and effective method for preparation of sensing electrode. Surface of glassy carbon (GC) is often used as a supporting collector, but it requires polishing, rinsing and sonication prior to mediator deposition. In this paper, we present common methods of modification of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and GC surface, respectively, from the point of surface nanomorphology investigated by atomic force microscopy.
