Galvanizing of steel components
Turkovič, Matúš ; Hanusová, Petra (referee) ; Zelený, Martin (advisor)
This thesis deals with galvanic, i.e. electrochemical plating. It is concerned with chemical and physical principles that accompanying plating followed by general overview of metal coatings as well as describes the process of their application. In detail, it is focused on nickel coatings. Part of the work is focused also on practical deposition of such coatings on steel samples as well as on study of effects of plating conditions on prepared coatings.

The effect of impurities on the interface cohesion in multilayers in transition metal nitrides
Češka, Jakub ; Zelený, Martin (referee) ; Černý, Miroslav (advisor)
This work deals with the study of transtition metal nitride multilayers using first-principles calculations. Objects of this study are three particular systems AlN / TiN, AlN / VN and TiN / VN. Studied systems are in the B1 structure with an interface along the (001) plane. The main goal is to unravel the effect of impurity on cohesion in these multilayers. The impurity in question is a substitutional O atom replacing N in the lattice. Preferred positions of these substitutions are predicted for three different concentrations of substitution impurity. These predictions are based on the energy balance of substitutions in different positions. Resulting preferred positions within the multilayer may differ depending on the oxygen concentration. In most cases, the preferred position is at the interface between the two nitrides. For such systems with oxygen impurity in the preferred position a cleavage energy along several (001) planes is calculated. The effect of the impurity on the value of cleavage energy depends on its concentration. In the case of AlN / TiN multilayer, a suitable concentration of the impurity may increase the cleavage energy of the weakest link in multilayer compared to clean multilayer. In other cases the presence of impurity either causes a decrease in the cleavage energy or does not significantly affect its value.

Ab initio calculation of doping in Ni2MnGa alloy
Janovec, Jozef ; Černý, Miroslav (referee) ; Zelený, Martin (advisor)
Cieľom tejto práce je teoretické štúdium systému Ni-Mn-Ga, vykazujúceho efekt magnetickej tvarovej pamäti. Pri výpočtoch bola použitá metóda Exaktných Mufiin-Tin Orbitálov v kombinácii s aproximáciou koherentného potenciálu vrámci Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker formalizmu. Totálna energia bola spočítaná pomocou metódy úplnej nábojovej hustoty. Skúmaný bol vplyv dopovania zinkom alebo kadmiom na totálne energie pozdĺž tetragonálnej deformačnej dráhy a následne na teplotu martenzitickej premeny TM a Curieho teplotu TC. Taktiež boli skúmané nestechiometrické zliatiny prebytkom Mn na úkor Ga. Výsledky predikujú nárast TM po všetkých pozorovaných substitúciách v podmriežke Ga a pokles TM po substitúciách v podmriežke Mn. Curieho teplotu znižujú všetky študované substitúcie s výnimkou zmeny magnetického usporiadania v martensite nestechiometrickej zliatiny.

Computational prediction of solubility limits in solid solutions
Fikar, Ondřej ; Friák, Martin (referee) ; Zelený, Martin (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on a theoretical study of the phase stability of solid solutions in selected aluminium and silver alloys. The ab initio calculations were performed using projected augmented waves method and the thermal dependencies of thermodynamic quantities were acquired using phonon calculations. The main focus of this work is the of aluminium-germanium alloy, while the other examined alloys (Al-Pb, Ag-Ge and Ag-Pb) serve the purpose of comparison of the solid solubility prediction and its reliability in systems with different composition. The temperatures, at which the solid solutions become stable, were evaluated using the energy difference between possible states and this evaluation was carried out for different contributions to the total energy. Also the electronic and phonon densities of states were calculated for all pure elements and solid solutions. The temperatures of solubility were compared to the experimental ones provided by the CALPHAD method and the individual contributions to the total energy were determined and depicted. The results obtained in this work tend to underestimate temperatures of solubility of individual solid solutions by hundreds of Kelvin.

Methods of isolation of individual subpopulations of neural stem cells
Zelený, Martin ; Zíková, Martina (advisor) ; Vargová, Ingrid (referee)
Stem cells have huge medical potential, but they are not explored enough for the use in medicine yet. Because of that, their further research is important. One group of the stem cells are neural stem cells, which are differentiating into the neural and glial cells in the brain. Neural stem cells are present at the two areas in the adult brain, subventricular zone and subgranular zone of hippocampus. Neural stem cells are not one homogenous population of cells, but rather various subpopulations with different cell expression. In my bachelor thesis I described the methods, which are used in the research of neural stem cell subpopulations. Described methods focused mainly on the isolation and gene expression. Keywords: neural stem cells, neurogenic zones, molecular markers

Comparison of different approaches in ab initio modeling of mechanical and magnetic properties of materials
Čavojec, Martin ; Řehák, Petr (referee) ; Zelený, Martin (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá zkoumáním vlivu kvantově-mechanického popisu mezi-atomárních interakcí na výsledky ab initio výpočtů magnetických a mechanických vlastností Fe, -TiAl a Ni2MnGa. Zkoumány byly dvě metody pro popis interakcí, jmenovitě metoda projektovaných přidružených vln a metoda lineární kombinace atomových orbitalů, které jsou implementovány v ab initio softwarech VASP a SIESTA. Hodnoty magnetických momentů v závislosti na objemových a tetragonálních deformačních drahách poukazují na relativní srovnatelnost napříč těmito metodami. Avšak výsledky elastických konstant poukazují na nevhodnost ab initio softwaru SIESTA pro výpočet elastických konstant metodou napětí-deformace (stress-strain metoda). Součástí praktické části této diplomové práce je vytvoření skriptu pro výpočet elastických konstant v programovacím jazyku Python.
