Study of optoelectrical properties of organic semiconductor thin film layers of phtalocyanines
Miklíková, Zdeňka ; Vala, Martin (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
Diploma thesis is focused on the study of optoelectric properties of thin layers of organic materials based on phthalocyanines, which can be used as an active layer of photovoltaic cells. Especially are studied the properties of the thin active layers of PdPc and PdPc + IL on the glass or ceramic substrates with aluminium contact, which are prepared by material printing here. On the prepared samples were first measured current-voltage characteristics in the dark and in the light and then were measured impedance spectrums in the dark. The received results will be used to improve the properties and structures of photovoltaic cells.

Application of two-dimensional layers of transition metal dichalcogenides in plasmonics
Kocourková, Monika ; Hrtoň, Martin (referee) ; Kvapil, Michal (advisor)
Two-dimensional layers of transition metal dichalcogenides are materials with some very intriguing properties, such as the existence of room-temperature stable excitons in visible and near-IR spectrum. Their integration into plasmonic systems allows enhancement of their photoluminescence, absorption, etc., which can be used in various applications. This thesis begins with an overview of the basic terminology and fundametal principles behind these materials and hybrid systems. The theoretical part then focuses on some plasmon-excitonic system examples. Practical part of this thesis is aimed at simulating and optimizing two different plasmon-excitonic systems using monolayer molybdenum disulphide and tungsten disulphide.

Mass production of hydrogenated ZnO nanorods
Chang, Yu-Ying ; Remeš, Zdeněk ; Míčová, J.
We have developed an inexpensive and efficient technology of hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanorods from zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O), as a precursor and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) (C6H12N4), as a surfactant followed by plasma hydrogenation in a novel inductively coupled plasma (ICP) quartz reactor and equipped with the rotary sample holder to stir powder during plasma treatment. We have optimized the photoluminescence spectroscopy for measuring optical scattering samples with the high sensitivity, precise sample positioning and very low influence of the scattered excitation light. Here we present the latest results on the enhancement of the UV photoluminescence of the ZnO nanorods after plasma hydrogenation. The exciton-related photoluminescence has been significantly enhanced whereas the deep defect related yellow photoluminescence has been significantly decreased.\n

Properties of solar cells based on polymer-silicon junction
Pavlovič, Dean ; Toušek, Jiří (advisor) ; Křivka, Ivo (referee)
Title: Properties of solar cells based on polymer-silicon junction Author: Dean Pavlovič Department / Institute: Department of Macromolecular Physics Supervisor of the bachelor thesis: doc. RNDr. Jiří Toušek, CSc, Department of Macromolecular physics Abstract: The aim of this work is to study unconventional materials, namely conjugated polymers, as to be used for photovoltaic purposes. Among these polymers are polyaniline, derivative of polyphenylene vinylene and two derivatives of polythiophene. Four different methods are used to study some of the physical quantities of the samples, that should affect overall efficiency of solar power conversion. Firstly, I-V characteristics yields fill factor and indicates mechanism of charge transport. Method based on surface photovoltage (SPV) estimates diffusion length of the charge carriers - excitons. Impedance spectroscopy and particular method abbreviated CELIV both measure charge carrier mobility. Outcome of this work are the values of these quantities for some of the samples. Keywords: organic semiconductors, solar cells, mobility, diffusion length, current-voltage characteristic

Photosynthetic Apparatus of Green Sulfur Bacteria Studied by Coherent Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy
Dostál, Jakub ; Pšenčík, Jakub (advisor) ; Polívka, Tomáš (referee) ; Ihalainen, Janne (referee)
The process of photosynthesis begins with a capture of sunlight and its quick conversion into the chemical energy. Both these primary processes take place in a specially designed photosynthetic apparatus that is present in cells of all photosynthetic organisms. In green sulfur bacteria the apparatus consists of a massive light-harvesting antenna (chlorosome), intermediate antennas (baseplate complex and FMO proteins) and of the reaction center, where the conversion into the chemical energy occurs. The energy flow through the apparatus can be monitored by time-resolved spectroscopy techniques. Coherent two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) in one of such techniques, which combines high temporal and spectral resolution, and therefore it is especially well suited for studying multichromophoric systems such as photosynthetic apparatus. This thesis describes the principles of the 2DES technique and outlines the basic facts about the photosynthetic apparatus of green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum tepidum. Finally, it summarizes the investigation of the photosynthetic machinery using 2DES. Results presented in this thesis provide new insights into the exciton diffusion and vibrational coherences within chlorosomes, excitonic structure of the baseplate and the overall energy flow through the entire...
