Preparation and characterization of crystalline materials - salts of N-guanylglycinium and guanidinium
Skopalík, Jiří ; Matulková, Irena (advisor) ; Zákutná, Dominika (referee)
The scope of this bachelor thesis is the preparation and study of new salts, which can be obtained from systems N-guanylglycine - inorganic acid and guanidine - amidosulfuric acid, as new materials with potential for applications in nonlinear optics. Prepared crystalline salts of N-guanylglycinium - i.e. chloride, two hydrogenphosphites and sulfate dihydrate along with guanidinium amidosulfate were characterized by methods of vibrational spectroscopy (infrared and Raman) and X-ray diffraction (single crystal and powder methods). To estimate the nonlinear optical properties and for the interpretation of the vibrational manifestations of N-guanylglycinium cation, quantum-chemical calculations were performed. Finally, for two non-centrosymmetric N-guanylglycinium hydrogenphosphites, the efficiency of second harmonic generation was determined for powder samples.

Preparation and characterization of novel molecular materials for nonlinear optics
Mathauserová, Jana ; Němec, Ivan (advisor) ; Nižňanský, Daniel (referee)
The main issue of this bachelor thesis is the investigation of salts and cocrystals of biuret and 2-aminopyrimidine in consideration of their usage in the field of nonlinear optics. The first attempt of this thesis was preparation of compounds combining biuret with organic or inorganic acids, urea and biguanide. The second part is focused on the searching of new salts of 2-aminopyrimidine and on further characterisation of its formerly prepared compounds. The methods employed to investigate the prepared materials include vibrational spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The theoretical quantum mechanical calculations were used to predict the nonlinear optical properties of selected molecules and also for the interpretation of the recorded vibrational spectra. Measurements of second harmonic generation efficiency of selected powder samples were performed.

Investigation of new materials for second harmonic generation
Brajer, Martin ; Němec, Petr (advisor) ; Žídek, Karel (referee)
In these bachelor thesis optical properties of materials are studied. This materials are purposefully prepared for effective second harmonic generation (SHG) and for its usage in optoelectronics. Specificely we will measure the first hyperpolarizibility. Non-coherent phenomenon of hyper-Rayleigh scattering will be used. Considering its incoherence, the effect is very weak. It's necessary to use a strong source of light, pulse laser and a sensitive detection device, photomultiplier. Samples are prepared in cooperating chemical laboratories of Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague. Additionally, we will discuss participation of two-photon fluorescence in output intensity because of its interchangeability with SHG.

Chernyavskiy, Oleksandr ; Kubínová, Lucie (advisor) ; Hašek, Jiří (referee) ; Malínský, Jan (referee)
Univerzita Karlova v Praze Přírodovědecká fakulta Studijní program: Vývojová biologie (P1520) Studijní obor: Vývojová biologie (1501V000) Oleksandr Chernyavskiy Zdokonalené metody pro snímání obrazových dat a analýzu tkání a buněk pomocí konfokální a multifotonové mikroskopie Improved Methods of Image Acquisition and Analysis of Tissues and Cells by Confocal and Multi-Photon Microscopy Abstrakt disertační práce Školitel: RNDr. Lucie Kubínová CSc Praha, 2015 Abstract The aim of this study was to develop methods and approaches for image acquisition with subsequent image analysis of data, obtained by confocal and two- photon excitation microscopy as well as their combination, enabling new possibilities of visualization and assessment of information on biological tissues and cell structures in 3D and their measurement. We focused on methods that exploited advantages of confocal and multi-photon excitation microscopy. Our further aim was to demonstrate the applicability of non-invasive approach for in vivo applications, usefulness and the relevance of these methods in several special biological applications with emphasis on improved image acquisition, analysis and evaluation of real biological specimens. The present work was not oriented on just one specific biological problem, but rather to methodological...

Krystalové inženýrství nových materialů pro nelineární optiku
Fridrichová, Michaela ; Němec, Ivan (advisor) ; Černošek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Schwendt, Peter (referee)
This thesis focuses on preparation of novel compounds suitable for nonlinear optics (NLO). In particular, the target property is the second harmonic generation (SHG) and the group of interest are salts of the cations with delocalized electrons which can serve as carriers of the NLO properties. In particular, four derivatives of the highly interesting molecule of guanidine were selected and their NLO potential was proven by quantum chemical computations. In total, twenty new structures were described and those with the noncentrosymmetric structure assembly were examined for the SHG efficiency. Four of the prepared compounds exhibited a noticeable SHG efficiency, two of them even comparable to urea. The most promising compound, the guanylurea hydrogen phosphite (GUHP), was examined in more detail while many interesting NLO properties were revealed. The results of this work are presented also in 10 attached publications which are an integral part of the thesis. Keywords: nonlinear optics, second harmonic generation, guanidine derivatives, guanylurea, N-phenylbiguanide, N,N-dimethylbiguanide, N,N,N˝-triphenylguanidine

Nové molekulární materiály pro nelineární optiku - příprava a detailní charakterizace
Mathauserová, Jana ; Němec, Ivan (advisor) ; Gyepes, Róbert (referee)
In this thesis both an experimental and computational study of selected prospective materials for nonlinear optics is presented. The main focus was put on 2-aminopyrimidinium hydrogen- phosphite (AMPPO3), a salt with high SHG efficiency and Type I. phase matching properties. AMPPO3 had been studied by our research group and its favourable qualities such as easy preparation, colourlessness, great water solubility and good crystallinity motivated further in- terest and the attempts for the growth of bulk single crystals from thermostated aqueous solu- tions as presented here. The products are meant to be probed by laser in a specific direction to determine the maximum SHG efficiency, so far the polarized microscopy study revealing the extreme dispersion effects is provided. AMPPO3 is an example of H-bond stabilized framework with both organic and inorganic building blocks. The computational study was led as to understand the structure which is typical for one of the classes of compounds exhibiting nonlinear optical properties. DFT implemented in parallel CP2K was used and for the comparison three other optically active materials of sim- ilar composition were studied - urea, guanylurea hydrogenphosphite and 2-aminopyrimidine- boric acid 3/2 cocrystal. After the constrained geometry optimization and cell...
