Design of secondary electron detector for ultrahigh vacuum electron microscope
Skladaný, Roman ; Zigo, Juraj (referee) ; Bábor, Petr (advisor)
In this master’s thesis, a mechanical design of an in-column secondary electrons (SE) detector is presented. It is an ultravacuum compatible fibre-scintillation detector designed for use in an ultrahigh vacuum scanning electron microscope (UHV SEM). The designed in-column SE detector was manufactured and tested upon overcoming R&D challenges. The first section of this thesis deals with theoretical basis needed for understanding of functional principles of UHV SEM system and means of SE’s detection. In the second section, mechanical design of the in-column SE detector is described. The last section describes functionality of the designed detector. Effectiveness of light shielding of the detector was tested and the detective quantum efficiency was measured. Finally, images created by the designed in-column detector and an in-chamber SE detector were evaluated and compared.

Ionization detector of secondary electrons for environmental scanning electron microscope
Dušek, Petr ; Zimáková, Jana (referee) ; Čudek, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with problematics of a detection of secondary electrons by ionization detector for environmental scanning electron microscope. In this thesis is described the difference between scanning electron microscope and environmental scanning electron microscope. Further there is described emission and detection of the choosen signals that arise while primary electrons are interacting with a specimen in scanning electron microscope. A special emphasis is placed on a description, sorting and on the form of detection of secondary electrons. In thesis there is described principle of a function of ionization a scintilation detectors. Experimental part of thesis describes design of 3 different elctrode systems of a tabular ionization detector, which will be intended to be placed in environmental scanning electron microscope. Based on measuring with the detectors, with experimental design, there is chosen one with the highest quality of signal detection.

Diagnostic of semiconductor materials by EBIC method
Davidová, Lenka ; Máca, Josef (referee) ; Čudek, Pavel (advisor)
Master´s thesis is focused on diagnostics of semiconductor materials by EBIC method (measuring of currents induced beam), determination of the lifetime of minority carriers, or their diffusion length. The theoretical part is aimed at the principle of scanning electron microscopy, the characteristic properties of the microscope and the signals generated by the interaction of the primary electron beam with the sample. The thesis describes a structure of semiconducting silicon, band models, types of lattice defects and doped of semiconductor structures. After that it is described the theory of calculation of the diffusion length of minority carriers in semiconductors of type N and P. The aim of the experiment part of the thesis is to measure the properties of the semiconductor structure by EBIC and determination of diffusion length and lifetime of minority charge carriers based on the measured data The aim of the experiment part of the thesis is to measure the properties of the semiconductor structure by EBIC and determination of diffusion length and lifetime of minority charge carriers on the basis of the measured data.

Image analysis for correction of electron microscopes
Smital, Petr ; Schwarz, Daniel (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
This thesis describes the physical nature of corrections of an electron microscope and mathematical methods of image processing required for their complete automation. The corrections include different types of focusing, astigmatism correction, electron beam centring, and image stabilisation. The mathematical methods described in this thesis include various methods of measuring focus and astigmatism, with and without using the Fourier transform, edge detection, histogram operations, and image registration, i.e. detection of spatial transformations in images. This thesis includes detailed descriptions of the mathematical methods, their evaluation using an “offline” application, descriptions of the algorithms of their implementation into an actual electron microscope and results of their testing on the actual electron microscope, in the form of a video footage grabbed from its control computer’s screen.

Cellulose Nanofibers and Aerogel Materials
Salajková, Michaela ; Kalfus, Jan (referee) ; Jančář, Josef (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá přípravou nových kompozitů na bázi mikrofibrilované celulozy a multi-walls carbon nanotubes (MFC/MWCNTs). Tři různé metody byly použity pro modifikaci MWCNTs. Byl zkoumán vliv použitých modifikací na kvalitu MWCNTs suspense. Dále byly připraveny kompozity obsahující MFC a MWCNTs a vliv MWCNTs na mechanické a elektrické vlastnosti a morfologii byl zkoumán. MWCNTs suspense byly charakterizovány za použití UV-VIS spektrofotometrie, Rastrovacího elektronového mikroskopu (SEM) a Termogravimetrické analýzy (TGA). Elektrické vlastnosti byly měřeny pomocí Keithly Electrometer/High Resistivity Meter. Mechanické vlastnosti v tahu byly měřeny za použití Miniature Materials Tester a pro studium morfologie byl použit SEM. Žádný významný vliv MWCNTs na mechanické vlastnosti nebyl pozorován. Hodnoty získané z měření rezistivity vykazují typický perkolační trend a výrazného snížení rezistivity bylo dosaženo přidáním 1 – 2 wt.% MWCNTs. Nicméně hodnoty se velice liší pro horní a spodní stranu téhož vzorku. Ze získaných výsledků vyplývá, že klíčovým krokem ke zdokonalení vlastností materiálu jsou dobrá suspense MWCNTs a také dosažení vzájemné kompatibility obou složek.
