Physical properties of InP epitaxial layers prepared with dysprosium admixture
Grym, Jan ; Procházková, Olga
Physical properties of commonly prepared InP layers grown by LPE technique and those grown from Dy treated melt are compared. The layers were examined by SEM, low temperature PL spectroscopy, C-V measurements and temperature dependent Hall effect. Structural, electrical and optical properties of InP layers exhibit a significant dependence on the presence of Dy and its concentration in the melt. When increasing the concentration of Dy the reversal of electrical conductivity occurs.

Microstructure optical fibres
Kaňka, Jiří ; Honzátko, Pavel ; Matějec, Vlastimil ; Kašík, Ivan ; Martan, Tomáš
A review of microstructure optical fibers, their use and methods of preparation is presented. Two classes of microstructure optical fibers in accordance with wave guiding mechanism are introduced. Unique dispersion properties and their structure dependence are discussed. Highly nonliner fibers, large mode area fibers and highly birefringent fibers are reported. Finally, the research carried out IREE Prague is summarized.

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.

Localized Surface Plasmons: Principles and Application
Kvapil, Michal ; Schmidt, Eduard (referee) ; Šikola, Tomáš (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with plasmonic nanostructures for visible eventually near-infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum. At first, there are discussed basic terms which are necessary for description of plasmonic nanostructures and their properties. Then the resonant properties of gold nanoantennas on a fused silica substrate and in proximity of nanocrystalline diamond are addressed. FDTD simulations are used for an assesment of resonant properties and local electric field enhancement of these nanostructures. Possible manufacturing methods of the antennas and techniques for the measurement of their properties are mentioned at the end of the thesis.
