Design of a Non-Resonant General Purpose Sample Holder for Terahertz Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Martínek, Tomáš ; Sojka, Zbigniew (oponent) ; Neugebauer, Petr (vedoucí práce)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to design dedicated sample holders for a high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The main task deals with the development of a user-friendly and fast locking system for connection between microwave waveguide and a sample holder. Two types of sample holders are designed one for loading multiple samples and one for single crystal rotation. Thanks to loading up to 6 samples the overall measurement time is estimated to be reduced more than twice. In the case of the single crystal rotator based on the precise piezoelectric rotator with resistive encoder a milliradian, precision is provided. Both sample holders are designed in such a way that the full automatization can be applied in the measurement.

Development of a Novel Terahertz Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer for Spin Dynamics Investigations
Sojka, Antonín ; Smith, Graham Murray (oponent) ; Tseytlin, Mark (oponent) ; Neugebauer, Petr (vedoucí práce)
During the last decades, the method called High Frequency/Field Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (HF-EPR) spectroscopy experienced a boom in chemistry, biology, material science, and physics. Still, HF-EPR spectrometers operating at sub-THz frequencies are mostly custom-made with non-standard solutions. The thesis aims to develop a novel broadband EPR spectrometer capable of operating in the field and frequency domain and performing frequency domain rapid scan to study relaxation times. The spectrometer operates at high magnetic fields up to 16\,T, broad frequency range from 90 to 1100 GHz, and temperature ranges of 4 –- 400\,K. Furthermore, The work describes the design and development of six different exchangeable sample holders with a proof-of functionality measurement and unique fast-loading flange for the sample holder. The capability of the spectrometer to perform Rapid Scan measurement is demonstrated in the measurements of the LiPc single crystal and the DPPH sample dissolved in toluene.
