Study of magnetic nanostructures for spintronics
Kameš, Jaroslav ; Nebojsa, Alois (referee) ; Urbánek, Michal (advisor)
The Cu/NiFe/Cu/Co/(CoOx) spin-valves have been prepared by the ion-beam sputtering method. Their GMR ratio and the time stability have been investigated by the magnetoresistance and the MOKE measurements at room temperature. The reproducibility of the preparation of the samples have been studied as well, i.e. two identically configurations of the layers should have the same magnetotransport properties.

Analysis of an Electromagnetic Wave on the Boundary between Electromagnetic Materials
Kadlec, Radim ; Lazar, Josef (referee) ; Macháč, Jan (referee) ; Kroutilová, Eva (advisor)
The proposed dissertation thesis contains an analysis of conditions on the boundary between layers having varied electromagnetic properties. The research is performed using consistent theoretical derivation of analytical formulas, and the underlying problem is considered also in view of multiple boundaries including the effect of the propagation of electromagnetic waves having different instantaneous speed. The author presents a survey and formulation of the basic characteristics of methods used for electromagnetic wave propagation analysis; in this respect, special emphasis is placed on radial models. The processing of the topic involved the designing and verification (using a set of different, layered planar materials) of algorithms to analyze the electromagnetic field components. The algorithm was assembled to enable simple evaluation of all components of the electromagnetic field in relation to the speed of the wave propagation in a heterogeneous environment. The proposed algorithms are compared by means of different numerical methods for the modelling of electromagnetic waves on the boundary between materials; moreover, electromagnetic field components in common points of the model were also subject to comparison. When in conjunction with tools facilitating the analysis of material response to the source of a continuous signal, the algorithms constitute a supplementary instrument for the design of a layered material. Such design enables the realization of, for example, recoilless plane, recoilless transition between different types of environment, and filters for both optical and radio frequencies.

Tato studie je zaměřena na základní výzkum tenkých vrstev plazmových polymerů a vliv depozičních podmínek na strukturu a vlastnosti jednotlivých vrstev a multivrstev připravených pomocí metody PE CVD. Jednotlivé vrstvy a multivrstvy a-SiC:H byly deponovány na křemíkové substráty z monomeru tetravinylsilanu (TVS) při různých výkonech v kontinuálním a pulzním režimu. Vrstvy byly rozsáhle zkoumány pomocí spektroskopické elipsometrie, nanoindentace, mikroskopie atomárních sil (AFM), rentgenové fotoelektronové spektroskopie (XPS), spektroskopie Rutherfordova zpětného rozptylu (RBS), rentgenové reflektivity, Fourierovy transformační infračervené spektroskopie (FTIR) a měření kontaktního úhlu, pro zjištění jejich optických, mechanických a chemických vlastností. Byl zkoumán a prokázán vliv depozičních podmínek na fyzikálně-chemické vlastnosti pp-TVS vrstev. Jednotlivé vrstvy byly v rámci po-depoziční úpravy vystaveny UV záření a byl zkoumán účinek stárnutí a vliv UV záření na jejich fyzikální a chemické vlastnosti. Multivrstevnaté struktury (plazmaticky polymerizované 2-vrstvy a 10-ti-vrstvy) s tloušťkou jednotlivých vrstev od 0,5 µm do 25 nm byly úspěšně deponovány a charakterizovány pomocí elipsometrické spektroskopie. Na základě získaných poznatků je možné připravit materiály s vlastnostmi upravenými podle požadavků pro využití v nanokompozitních aplikacích a optických zařízeních.

Magnetic multilayers for spintronics applications
Vaňatka, Marek ; Dvořák, Petr (referee) ; Urbánek, Michal (advisor)
Magnetic multilayers have applications as magnetic field sensors or magnetic memory cells. Mastering the methods of fabrication and characterization of the structures such as spin valve or magnetic tunnel junction is an important step towards more complicated spintronics devices. This work summarizes basic theory of magnetism, magnetotransport properties, and it describes basic applications of magnetic multilayers. The experimental part of this work deals with the sample preparation by ion beam sputtering (IBS), ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD), and characterization of prepared multilayers by measuring anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), giant magnetoresistance (GMR), or tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR).

Formation of layered structures using PE CVD technique
Hoferek, Lukáš ; Krčma, František (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
The work is aimed at preparation and characterization of thin films deposited by Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PE-CVD) on silicon wafers. A comprehensive characterization of the deposition system in order to determine the range of deposition conditions was a part of the study. Subsequently, the single and multi-layers were deposited from tetravinylsilane monomer. The deposition process was monitored by spectroscopic ellipsometry and mass spectroscopy. Layers and layered structures were characterized by microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The physical and chemical properties of deposited films were studied with respect to the deposition conditions and monomer fragmentation in low-temperature plasma.
