Florián, Pavel ; Pavlík, Zbyšek (referee) ; Matiašovský, Peter (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This dissertation deals with the study of electric and dielectric properties of composite structures on the base of alkali-activated aluminosilicates with admixtures of various carbon particles. These materials fabricated from alkali-activated blast furnace slag, quarz sand, natrium water glass as alkali activator, water, dispersant and small amount of carbon admixture (carbon black, graphite powder, carbon fibers or carbon nanotubes) to increase electric conductivity may be used for example to construction of snow-melting, deicing and self-monitoring systems. Their current-voltage characteristics and impedance spectra were used for determination of electric and dielectric properties of these structures. The equivalent circuits were used for evaluation of impedance spectra. The results were correlated with thermal properties of these structures.

Tumová, Šárka ; Toman, Petr (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the photochromic molecule of spiropyran, which changes its structure as well as physical and chemical properties after UV irradiation. These changes are reversible, the molecule thermally restore its initial structure. For the study, the molecule SP1 with the systematic name 1',3'-dihydro-1',3',3'-trimethyl-6-nitrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-(2H)-indole] was used. This molecule was incorporated within polymers PVK, Tg PPV, PCBTDPP and PCDTBT and the method of UV-VIS spectroscopy was used to observe the photochromic activity within these matrices. The influence of matrices to the ability to undergo UV induced photochromic conversion as well as to the reverse conversion to the initial structure induced by heat was monitored. Furthermore, the influence of spiropyran to the electrical properties of individual matrices was studied. The effect of photochromic conversion to both, the mobility of charge carriers and to the photogeneration was observed. For this purpose, the method of current-voltage measurement was used.

Electrical characteristics of graphene layers and their use as gas sensors
Kučera, Štěpán ; Kaspar, Pavel (referee) ; Macků, Robert (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the general characterization and description of graphene and related nanostructures. It involves production by the most used methods, including their advantages and disadvantages. Due to the impossibility of connection in the usual way, the graphene sample had to be contacted under visual inspection with a microscope with the tip contacts in the shielded area. Subsequently, it was subjected to current-voltage characterization with normal conditions on a Keithley 4200-CSC instrument. The next step was to measure the same sample under a different gas atmosphere. The result is a comparison of the specific responses to the change in gas atmosphere in which the graphene monolayer was exposed.

Diagnostics of Diaphragm Discharge in Water Solutions and its Application for the Nanomaterials Surface Treatment
Dřímalková, Lucie ; Brablec, Antonín (referee) ; Janda,, Mário (referee) ; Krčma, František (advisor)
The exact mechanism of the discharge in liquids ignition is not sufficiently known up to now. Although during the last years was achieved the great progress and overloading which some of them are written in this theoretical part of thesis. This thesis is divided into two experimental parts. When the first part deals with diagnostics of diaphragm discharge in electrolyte solutions and the second part is focused on its use for uncoiling (higher homogenization) of carbon nanotubes in solutions. In experiment 1, three different sized (4 l, 100 ml, 50 ml) diaphragm discharge configurations were used to diagnose diaphragm discharge in electrolyte solutions. Diagnostics is done through current and voltage waveforms with the addition of synchronized ICCD camera images that have been connected to a four-channel oscilloscope. The V-A characteristic can be described by three events occurring in the electrolyte solution with a gradual increase in voltage. Slowly increasing of the voltage in the solution leads first to electrolysis. The next phase is the formation of microbubbles or bubbles, which is characteristic of the curve by a slight decrease in the increase of the current passing between electrodes. The sudden increase in the current flow is characteristic of the last phase, namely the discharge phase. The distance of the electrodes from the diaphragm does not significantly affect the V-A characteristic. The higher diameter of the pin hole, therefore, has a higher voltage, but this does not affect the origin of bubble generation or breakdown. The higher thickness of diaphragm, the higher voltage is needed to the beginning of the bubbles generation, and consequently the discharge breakdown. Comparison of the voltage of the start generation of the bubbles and breakdown for PET diaphragms and diaphragms from the ceramic there was no mark able difference. One of the most important parameters is the conductivity of the electrolyte solution. The lower voltage is needed for the start generation of the bubbles at the higher solution conductivity, and also the discharge generation is observed at a lower breakdown voltage. The second experimental part is focused on the study of the diaphragm discharge effect on carbon nanotubes. A specially designed U-shaped reactor is used to modify carbon nanoparticles. Tap water and aqueous solutions of organic compounds are used as the electrolytic solutions. The discharge is generated by a non-pulsed DC high source with a voltage in the range of 0-2.8 kV supplied to platinum electrodes located in the electrolyte solution. The experimental results have shown that the diaphragm discharge has positive effects on the disintegration of clusters and agglomerates of carbon nanotubes. The primary effect on disintegration is probably the shock waves generated by the discharge. It turned out that it depends on the electrode configuration, where the treatment in anode space has far greater effects than the treatment in cathode half of the reactor. Effects of carbon nanotubes disintegration in solution are long-lasting and the treatment effect is not loosed after several months. There were detected no significant changes in the structure of plasma-treated nanotubes by Infra-red spectroscopy.

Perovskite materials
Gavranović, Stevan ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis is focused on a study of electrical properties of perovskite single crystals prepared by inverse temperature crystallization (ITC). Measurements were done on the organic-inorganic halide perovskite monocrystal MAPbBr3 and on the completely inorganic halide perovskite monocrystal CsPbBr3. Crystalline structure and chemical composition of prepared single crystals were determined using x-ray diffraction analysis. Current-voltage characteristics of perovskite monocrystals were measured using solar simulator. Hole carrier mobility were calculated from determined current-voltage characteristics using SCLC method. Furthermore, the dependencies of dielectric permittivity on frequency of alternating current were measured. MAPbBr3 single crystal showed better electrical properties (higher hole carrier mobilities) than CsPbBr3.

Pospíšil, Jan ; Weiter, Martin (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the study of electric and dielectric properties of thin film organic materials that can be used as an active layer of photovoltaic cells. Primarily were studied the properties of the layers on the glass substrates, which consist of a thin active layer of phthalocyanines. On the samples were first measured current-voltage characteristics (in the dark and during the exposure) and the basic parameters of the photovoltaic conversion were determined. Finally were measured frequency dependencies (impedance spectra, in the dark and during the exposure) and the parameters of a model of the structure with organic semiconductor were determined. The obtained results will be used to optimize the properties of photovoltaic cells.

Study of electrical and dielectric properties of ionic liquids
Mitáčková, Martina ; Pospíšil, Jan (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the study of electrical and dielectric properties of ionic liquids. Two types of OECT substrates with different semiconductor channel lengths made of PEDOT:PSS were used to measure these properties. The dielectric properties were measured by impedance spectroscopy, where the dependence of the impedance value and its phase angle on the voltage frequency was measured. It was found from V-A characteristics, that the best closing of semiconductor layer occurs at a positive UGD voltage. The switching speeds of different ionic liquids were compared for this voltage.
