Vítek, Jiří ; Šimonová, Lucie (referee) ; Šubarda, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the description of the method of reactive sputtering of thin films. Currently, there are many ways how to create thin films and there are many applications of thin films in various industrial sectors. In this paper at the first are listed the issue of thin films, followed by an overview of the deposition techniques and of the chemical analysis of deposited thin films. It also describes the four-point measurement method of sheet resistance, mechanical test of adhesion and optical properties. At the end of the theoretical part are described the material composition of the deposited films. The goal of the practical part is to optimize the deposition process of the mixed layer of indium tin oxide (In2O3: SnO2) and contribute to the overall understanding of the influence of annealing on the layer. There were created six series of samples with that applied layers. First, the work focused on examining of the influence of annealing on the throughput in the whole measuring range, and then comparing the series due to the transmittance in the visible light spectrum. Furthermore were compared the value of sheet resistance of unannealed and subsequently annealed samples.

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.

Strucure and mechnical properties of cold sprayed Ti-6Al-4V layer
Sabela, Jakub ; Zelený, Martin (referee) ; Řehořek, Lukáš (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals in the first part with recent knowledge of cold spray, its mechanism and parameters of deposition, advanced coatings made by cold spray and their applications, knowledge of Ti-6Al-4V coatings and their heat treatment. Deposit of Ti- 6Al-4V powder was made by cold spray process. In experimental part, microstructure and mechanical properties of supplied and its heat treated material were observed and examined. Mechanical properties and microstructure remained unchanged by annealing at 600 °C as in the case of supplied material. Recrystallization occured in microstructure of and phases by annealing at 800 °C. Grains were emerged in microstructure and mechanical properties were decreased. Mechanical properties were improved by annealing at 900 °C due to quenching. Microstructure consists of and ’ phases. Mechanical properties were the worst for annealed material at 1000 °C because of coarsed grains. Material which was annealed at 800 °C, quenched and precipitation hardened had the best microstructure and mechanical properties.

Hybrid materials based on magnetically bistable molecular compounds
Vavrečková, Šárka ; Herchel, Radovan (referee) ; Nemec, Ivan (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce se zaobírá depozicí jednomolekulárních magnetů na grafen. Teoretická část se věnuje jednomolekulárním magnetům, vybraným způsobům depozice jednomolekulárních magnetů na dvourozměrné materiály a grafenu. Dále jsou rozebrány fyzikální principy zvolených charakterizačních metod (mikroskopie atomárních sil, elektronová skenovací mikroskopie, Ramanova spektroskopie, rentgenová fotoelektronová spektroskopie a elektronová paramagnetická rezonance). V praktické části byla provedena depozice šesti kobaltových jednomolekulárních magnetů pomocí termální sublimace. U dvou z nich byla provedena také depozice z roztoku metodou „drop-casting“ k ověření jejich vysoké stability. Poté byly vzorky analyzovány pomocí již výše zmíněných metod a diskutovány výsledky. Díky úspěšným depozicím se podařilo identifikovat stabilní jednomolekulární magnety se slibnými magnetickými vlastnosti.

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.

GaN deposition on a tungsten substrate
Pikna, Štěpán ; Piastek, Jakub (referee) ; Čalkovský, Vojtěch (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on deposition of GaN nanocrystals on the etched tungsten tips. Motivation was to prepare these GaN structures on the Schottky cathode made by company ThermoFisher Scientific and measure its field emission. In the theoretical part of the thesis GaN and tungsten field emission properties are introduced. The experimental part begins with tungsten tip etching optimalization, where the right values for best tips are temperature 20 °C, depth of the tip 2,5 mm and solution NaOH used. Further the gallium structures were prepared on these tips using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The right temperature to prepare GaN nanocrystals was determined as 200 °C. The deposition of gallium was set to 2 hours and following nitridation was 3 hours. Finally, the field emission from GaN prepared on copper foil with graphene was measured and compared with other experiments.

Kopečková, Barbora ; Knotek, Stanislav (referee) ; Jícha, Miroslav (advisor)
The Bachelor's thesis deals with a deposition efficiency for a fibers by various mechanisms of a deposition. It explains deposition efficiency by diffusion, by sedimentation and by impaction. The implementation of Peterlin's analytical solution for calculation of the ODF, which is used for individual efficiencies solution, is also mentioned. Afterwards, the thesis summarizes formulas for calculation of particular efficiencies derived for spherical particles and recomputation appropriate parameters for fibers. The purpose of the thesis is to create graphs, which illustrate deposition efficiencies dependence by various mechanisms on the aspect ratio of fibers. Another goal is the graphs creation, which shows juxtaposition for various breathing modes for given deposition mechanisms. The software MATLAB is used for the whole calculation process and graphs plotting.

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).
