Propagation of inclined cracks to the interface of ceramic laminates
Novotná, Lenka ; Trunec, Martin (referee) ; Chlup, Zdeněk (advisor)
Composite materials with laminated structure provide advantages which are utilised during component design. Low density, temperature and chemical stability are the profitable properties predetermining application of ceramic laminates. The main obstacle for wide spread of ceramic materials is their inherent brittleness. Therefore, in this thesis, the crack propagation in ceramics laminates has been extensively studied. Laminated structures with various volume fractions of components (alumina and zirconia) were prepared by electrophoretic deposition. Evaluation of crack propagation through the interface and determination of basic mechanical properties was conducted on the basis of extensive literature search. Crack deflection originated in both presence of internal stresses and differences in elastic modulus during the crack interface passing was monitored. A special type of specimen geometry was employed with the aim to set arbitrary angle between crack and interface. It was experimentally found that the degree of crack deflection is dependent on entering angle and volume fraction of components. Higher crack deflection was already found in the bulk of the test piece comparing to the test piece surface. The 3D fracture surface reconstruction generated using laser confocal microscopy was used in this detailed crack propagation study. Further basic elastic and strength characteristics of laminates were determined and compared to those obtained from monolithic materials. The validity of the mix rule for elastic characteristics was confirmed by comparing of elastics modulus. The most reliable method for elastic modulus determination was marked the dynamic resonance method due to low scatter and consistency in measurement. The flexural strength of all laminates tends to be close to the flexural strength of the weakest component. Therefore the mix rule is not applicable for flexural strength estimation on the contrary of elastic characteristics. The change of component volume fraction leads only to change of flexural strength scatter. Thanks to gained knowledge about crack propagation and basic characteristic determination will be possible to design ceramic laminates more efficiently for given needs of application.

Pressure influence on the magnetic and transport properties of the f-electron compounds
Míšek, Martin ; Javorský, Pavel (advisor) ; Kamarád, Jiří (referee)
In this thesis, we describe the work with a new pressure cell, its implementation in Joint Laboratory for Magnetic Studies, together with testing measurements necessary for ensuring good environmental conditions control and trouble-free operation. We have chosen a single crystal of the CePtSn compound to be the first representative measurement. We measured electrical resistivity along crystallographic b-axis in conditions: T = 2-300 K, p = 0-2.5 GPa and magnetic field B = 0-14 T applied along b-axis. We observed only minimal pressure influence on temperatures of magnetic phase transitions, however interesting and rather unusual behavior in magnetic fields was revealed. Previous works reported two field-induced transitions at low temperatures and ambient pressure, with values of the critical fields BcLF ~ 4 T and BcHF ~ 11.5 T, accompanied with large magnetoresistence step of -30% and +10%, respectively. With application of pressure, we observed shift of the critical field of low-field transition BcLF to the higher fields, whereas the value of critical field of high-field transition BcHF was unaffected with applied pressure. At a p ~ 1.5 GPa the two transitions merged and only one step was observed. With pressure further increasing above 1.5 GPa, situation with two transitions, similar to the lower pressure...

Hofírková, Linda ; Nezbedová, Eva (referee) ; Molliková, Eva (advisor)
This diploma work deals with relationship between composition and mechanical properties of polymeric composite with polypropylene matrix and magnesia hydroxide as a filler. The influence of content of filler (20,40,60 w.%) and temperature (-30°C +60°C) on dynamic fracture toughness is observed. The regresion function describing the dependence of studied mechanical properti on temperature for all experimental materials where found. Experimental data were confront with data gained on the same materials then 10 years ago and influence of time on mechanical properties of follow - up composites is evaluate.

Pospíšil, Jan ; Boušek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Mikula, Milan (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The dissertation is focused on the study of electric and especially dielectric properties of thin film organic materials with their huge potential for optoelectronics and other industrial sectors. The theoretical part deals with the use of organic materials in organic photovoltaic cells, the methods of deposition techniques and characterization. The theoretical knowledge of the dielectric spectroscopy, including methods for determining the physical properties and evaluation of experimental data are also described. The experimental part is devoted to the study of small molecule organic solar cells with bulk heterojunction composed of electron donor molecule of DPP(TBFu)2 and electron acceptor fullerene derivatives, such as PC60BM, PC70BM and TC60BM. The experimental part is divided into two main parts. The first part deals with the study of processes occurring at the interface between the active layer and the contact; the second part is focused on transport processes inside the structure of photovoltaic cells and also contains a study of perovskite solar cells.

Noise, Transport and Structural Properties of High Energy Radiation Detectors Based on CdTe
Šik, Ondřej ; Lazar, Josef (referee) ; Navrátil, Vladislav (referee) ; Grmela, Lubomír (advisor)
Poptávka ze strany vesmírného výzkumu, zdravotnictví a bezpečnostního průmyslu způsobila v posledních letech zvýšený zájem o vývoj materiálů pro detekci a zobrazování vysokoenergetického záření. CdTe a jeho slitina CdZnTe. jsou polovodiče umožnují detekci záření o energiích v rozsahu 10 keV až 500 keV. Šířka zakázaného pásma u CdTe / CdZnTe je 1.46 -1.6 eV, což umožňuje produkci krystalů o vysoké rezistivitě (10^10-10^11 cm), která je dostačující pro použití CdTe / CdZnTe při pokojové teplotě. V mé práci byly zkoumány detektory CdTe/CdZnTe v různých stádiích jejich poruchovosti. Byly použity velmi kvalitní spektroskopické detektory, materiál s nižší rezistivitou a výraznou polarizací, detektory s asymetrií elektrických parametrů kontaktů a teplotně degenerované vzorky. Z výsledků analýzy nízkofrekvenčního šumu je patrný obecný závěr, že zvýšená koncentrace defektů způsobí změnu povahy původně monotónního spektra typu 1/f na spektrum s výrazným vlivem generačně-rekombinačních procesů. Další výrazná vlastnost degenerovaných detektorů a detektorů nižší kvality je nárůst spektrální hustoty šumu typu 1/f se vzrůstajícím napájecím napětí se směrnicí výrazně vyšší než 2. Strukturální a chemické analýzy poukázaly, že teplotní generace detektorů způsobuje difuzi kovu použitého při kontaktování a stopových prvků hlouběji do objemu krystalu. Část mé práce je věnována modifikaci povrchu svazkem argonových iontů a jejímu vlivu na chemické složení a morfologii povrchu.

Substantive nominalizations -ní/-tí in Czech, Slovak, and Russian
Vicherková, Vanda ; Chlupáčová, Kamila (referee) ; Giger, Markus (advisor)
This final thesis deals with verbal substantives of form -ní/-tí in Czech, Slovak, and Russian. It focuses on syntactical behaviour of nominal group based on verbal substantive of this kind. This structure with semantic predicate of verbal substantive form is treated as a result of substantive nominalization process, subject of which is sentence structure based on the verbum finitum predicate. Within the syntax of the nominalized predicate, its valency in the first place, it concerns the formation of the mentioned kind of deverbatives and their morphological character as well.The language material on which the thesis is based, comes from corpora SYN2005 (Czech National Corpus), Prim-3.0 (Slovak National Corpus), and Osnovnoj korpus (Russian National Corpus).

Blaháček, Michal ; Landa, Michal ; Zídek, Jan
Composite material parameters evaluation depends on our ability to simplify complex wave field. Fractional wave mode arrival usually evokes transient effects in the measured signal. In the paper new method of transient effects detection is discussed. The method is efficient tool for fractional wave mode detection and wave arrival time computation.
