Quantum Dot Cellular Automata Simulation
Michálik, Juraj ; Bidlo, Michal (referee) ; Sekanina, Lukáš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes the origin and purpose of quantum cellular automata (QCA), their function and physical construction. It also describes the quantum cellular cell and principles of making simple circuits using these cells. The work contains an overview of available QCA simulators. More attention is given to the QCAD simulator, which has been utilized in the experimental part of this work. QCA are analyzed from the view of errors during fabrication, difficulty of the physical construction and the importance for modern electronics. Elementary study materials and set of examples have also been created.

Noncontact temperature measurements using luminescent materials
Jedlička, Jindřich ; Nebojsa, Alois (referee) ; Ligmajer, Filip (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with noncontact temperature measurement using luminescent materials. In the theoretical part of the thesis, luminescent materials were selected on the basis of a literature review with respect to sensitivity and operating temperature range. In the experimental part of the thesis, photoluminescence of CdSe/ZnS and GaAs quantum dots for various temperatures was measured and the relative change of luminescence parameters such as emission peak position, intensity, intensity ratio of two emission peaks, and lifetime of luminescence were determined from the measurements in agreement with expectations according to the literature. Achieving high spatial resolution would be made possible by measuring cathodoluminescence, where the luminescence spectra are obtained with an order of magnitude higher spatial resolution. These measurements and the influence of electron beam on the luminescence quality of selected materials will be subject of further experimental study.

Quantum dot luminescent probe for Caspase 3/7 imaging inside cells
Procházková, Markéta ; Klepárník, Karel
Two step synthesis of luminescent probe based on ligand-exchange in the first step and the specific reaction of amino group in the second step was optimized. The luminescence properties of the final product were checked by time course of\nactive recombinant caspase protein reaction under the model conditions in fluorimeter. The novel luminescent probe enables long-time imaging of active caspases in living cells or tissues.

Terahertz radiation in nanostructures
Klimovič, Filip ; Ostatnický, Tomáš (advisor) ; Němec, Hynek (referee)
V této teoretické práci se zabýváme kvantově mechanickými jevy, jež jsou spjaté s vodi- vostními elektrony uzavřenými v kvantových tečkách. Nejprve je odvozen model nanokrys- talu jakožto potenciálové jámy. Při tom se ukazuje, že pouze objem, ne tvar, je významným parametrem modelu pro účely terahertzové spektroskopie. Studované geometrie jsou tak vzájemně zaměnitelné a výběr mezi nimi m·že zjednodušit dané úlohy. Pro zkoumání depo- larizačních efekt·, které jsou zahrnuty v depolarizačním faktoru v Maxwell Garnettově teorii efektivního prostředí, je zvolena sférická symetrie. V rámci poruchy prvního řádu je vyřešena Poissonova rovnice pro elektrony rozmístěné uvnitř koule podle vlnové funkce a je určen depo- larizační faktor. Zatímco v klasické limitě tento nabývá p·vodní hodnoty, pro nanokrystaly se zvyšuje a maxima je dosaženo v ne-degenerovaném režimu, kdy je obsazen pouze základní stav. Navýšení depolarizačního faktoru posouvá plasmonovou rezonanci směrem k vyšším frekvencím. 1

Characterization of FRET sensor
Datinská, Vladimíra ; Klepárník, Karel ; Belšánová, B. ; Minárik, M. ; Foret, František
In this study, we present characterization of sensor based on Fӧrster resonance energy\ntransfer (FRET). The sensor is composed of ssDNA chain attached to a laboratory\nsynthesized quantum dot (QD). A complementary chain of a sample is labeled by a\nluminescent dye. When the dsDNA hybrid is formed, the energy from the QD (donor)\nis transferred to the dye (acceptor) and FRET is observed as a decrease of QD\nluminescence emission intensity and an increase of dye luminescence emission\nintensity.

Characterisation of InAs/GaAs quantum dots by high resolution transmission electron microscopy
Zíková, Markéta ; Hospodková, Alice ; Pangrác, Jiří ; Hulicius, Eduard ; Komninou, Ph. ; Kioseoglou, J.
The InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) covered by GaAsSb strain reducing layer (SRL) have suitable properties for various applications. The GaAsSb SRL covering InAs QDs is used to improve the structure growth and the final parameters like QD density, QD size or photoluminesence. To obtain high-quality structure with required properties, the structure growth and final structure have to be deeply studied. Since the QDs and SRL system is surrounded by GaAs, the high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurement was used to reveal the real material arrangement in a prepared sample. In this work we will discuss the results of following HRTEM measurements: flatness and thickness of prepared layers, QD size, atomic arrangement and composition of GaAsSb layer.
