Study of Properties of Metallic Thin Films and Nanostructures Using Scanning Probe Microscopy
Doupal, Antonín ; Fejfar, Antonín (referee) ; Kalousek, Radek (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on investigation of metallic thin films and nanostructures using scanning probe microscopy. Magnetic properties of these objects are studied by magnetic force microscopy, which is modification of scanning probe microscopy. In the theoretical part basic principles of scanning probe microscopy and magnetic force microscopy are summarized, and also principle of creation of magnetic domains and some special properties of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials. Further, two techniques of fabricating nanostructures are described. Experimental part is focused on imaging and simulating of magnetic domains. Further, exchange bias is revealed. This phenomenon is present in systems composed from ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials. One part of this diploma thesis is also focused on discussion of problems with magnetic force microscopy.

T cells labelling by bimodal contrast agent for in vivo studies of stroke
Krijt, Matyáš ; Poljaková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kříž, Jan (referee)
Stroke is a serious brain injury, which causes sudden death or terminates in permanent neurological disability. Nowadays, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is used as the only effective treatment of stroke. One of the potential targets for novel therapy are T cells. Even though the explicit role of T cells in the pathogenesis of brain injury, amounts and timing of all T cell subtypes infiltrating into brain during the stroke still needs further investigation. The research in this field is complicated by the lack of efficient methods for in vivo cell tracking. Therefore the aim of this thesis was to develop a method of T cells labelling by MRI contrast agent in order to investigate T cells distribution in ischemic mice model using in vivo MR imaging. T cells were isolated from C57/BL6 mice in two step isolation protocol using gradient centrifugation and magnetic separation with the efficiency of 97 %. The isolated cells were labelled with 100 μg Fe/mL of Molday ION Rhodamine B contrast agent. The labelling efficiency after 17 hours of cells incubation was higher than 99 %. The labelled cells were cultured with CD3 and CD28 antibodies resulting into the 74 % viability of labelled T cells compared to 83 % viability of non labelled T cells. The labelled T cells were visualized by fluorescent...

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.

Study of proper and improper microwave dielectric losses by means of teraherz and infrared spectroscopy
Tkáč, Ondřej ; Kamba, Stanislav (advisor) ; Petzelt, Jan (referee)
Title: Study ol"proper and improper microwave dielectric tosses by means of tcrahcrz and infrared speetroseopy Author: Ondfej Tkac Department: Department of Dielectrics. Institute of Physics, Academy of Sciences of C/ech Republic Supervisor: RNDr. Slanislav Kamba.C'Sc.. Na Slovance 2. Prague 8 Supervisor's e-mail adress: kambawT/u.c/ Abstract: In the llrst part of this thesis there is described relevant theory, especially we pay our attention to the principles of infrared speetroseopy and fitting models, then to the explanation of the terms proper and improper dielectric losses and we also discuss dielectrics and ferroelectrics. By means of Fourier transform infrared speetroseopy we measured infrared spectra at room temperature in the range of 30 - 3000 em"1. We lilted the spectra and then we extrapolated the final complex permit!vity into the microwave range. This enabled us to estimate the proportion of improper dielectric losses on total microwave losses. By the ceramic SiVxPlxCeVfinO-^ (.\0 to 9) we studied the impact of amount of lead on dielectric properties. We found out that the substitution of strontium with lead causes the increase of permitivity up lo several thousands and forces ferroelectric transition for x>2. With perovskitc Ca/n, jNb^ :,-xVx(.)1 (.v=0 to 0,01) we examined the inlluence of...

Study of contrast mechanisms in environmental scanning electron microscopy
Wandrol, Petr
The main goal of the work is study of contrast materials in environmental scanning electron microscopy. I will concentrate to the design and construction of the original detector of secondary electrons, which is not influenced by backscattered electrons as well as to scintillation detector of backscattered electrons on the basis of single-crystal YAP in the dissertation work. For successful solution of the topic it will be necessary to manage the theory of the influence of magnetic fields on trajectories of electrons. The knowledge of the software SIMION, version 7.0 will be necessary too, together with studying of the theory for assessment of suitable vacuum conditions in differential chambers.
