Mikuš, Tomáš ; Kouřil, Miloslav (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
The thesis deals with surface quenching of steel 42CrMo4 by electron beam. Influence of technologic parameters and beam deflection on properties and structure of prepared layers is studied. Electron beam surface quenching was applicated with and without melting of the surface. Structures of layers made by electron beam quenching were compared with structures made by laser and electromagnetic induction. Structures and phases were analysed by optical microscopy, SEM and roentgen diffraction. Hardness was measured on hardened layers.

Determination of properties of as-sprayed and EB-deposited coatings prepared by thermal spray technologies using scratch test and nano-indentation methods
Cének, Lukáš ; Tkachenko, Serhii (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
Properties of samples and their coatings may be affected by the electron beam. This paper deals with the analysis of the microstructure, phase and chemical composition and the determination of mechanical characteristics of inconel steel substrate and CoNiCrAlY coatings deposited via different types of thermal spraying (HVOF, cold spray), in combination with modifications by the electron beam technology. During the study it was found that the deposition did not change the chemical composition. Further it was found that the interaction of the electron beam with the material did not change the chemical composition, but there is a change in the structure and a reduction of porosity and surface roughness, resulting in a change of mechanical properties such as decreasing hardness or increase of the modulus of elasticity.

Modification of coating-substrate interface character of thermally sprayed coatings using electron beam technology
Mareš, Jiří ; Moravčík, Igor (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
Tato práce je zaměřena na modifikaci charakteru rozhraní substrát-nástřik NiCrAlY povlaků nanesených pomocí technologie vodou stabilizované plazmy na substráty z oceli S235JRC+C. Přetavení žárové vrstvy elektronovým paprskem bylo zvoleno jako technologie pro modifikaci a dvě různé modifikace byly zkoumány. V práci byl proveden pokus o stanovení vlivu modifikací na adhezní vlastnosti nástřiku. Dále jsou v práci prezentovány analýzy mikrostruktury, fázového a chemického složení a mikrotvrdosti ve stavu před a po modifikaci. Během studie bylo zjištěno, že dochází ke změnám fázového složení jak během depozice, tak během modifikace elektronovým paprskem. Modifikace elektronovým paprskem způsobila roztavení oxidů původní mikrostruktury nástřiku, které následně rekrystalizovaly na povrchu modifikované vrstvy. Dalším získaným poznatkem bylo, že dochází ke snížení mikrotvrdosti po modifikaci, což bylo způsobeno odstraněním oxidů z mikrostruktury a promícháním materiálu substrátu a původního nástřiku. Adheze nástřiků v as sprayed stavu byla kvantifikována. V případě nástřiků modifikovaných elektronovým paprskem přesná kvantifikace nebyla možná, z důvodu předčasného porušení na rozhraní nástřik-adhezivní pojivo během adhezních testů.

Modification of SPS quasicrystalline compacts via electron beam treatment
Poczklán, Ladislav ; Lukáč,, František (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
The quasicrystals are characterized by unusual rotational symmetries that are not observed in the crystalline materials, which is the cause of their interesting material properties. Because of that a particular attention was paid to quasicrystalline structures in the literature research. The research also contains a description of electron beam technology, spark plasma sintering method and introduction to the problematics of wear. As the default materials for the experimental part were selected Titanium Grade 2 powder and Cristome A5 powder which was partially composed of quasicrystalline phase. The first series of samples was sintered only from powder Cristome A5. The second series was sintered from the mixture of 80 % Titanium Grade 2 powder and 20 % Cristome A5 powder. For the compaction of samples spark plasma sintering technology was selected. Samples were then systematically modified by electron beam and subjected to pin on disc tests. Samples modified at 750 °C had the best wear resistance. Samples modified at 1150 °C contained increased amount of quasicrystalline phase.

Detection and measurement of electron beam in TEM images
Polcer, Simon ; Vičar, Tomáš (referee) ; Chmelík, Jiří (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with automatic detection and measurement of the electron beam in the images from a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The introduction provides a description of the construction and the main parts of the electron microscope. In the theoretical part, there are summarized modes of illumination from the fluorescent screen. Machine learning, specifically convolution neural network U-Net is used for automatic detection of the electron beam in the image. The measurement of the beam is based on ellipse approximation, which defines the size and dimension of the beam. Neural network learning requires an extensive database of images. For this purpose, the own augmentation approach is proposed, which applies a specific combination of geometric transformations for each mode of illumination. In the conclusion of this thesis, the results are evaluated and summarized. This proposed algorithm achieves 0.815 of the DICE coefficient, which describes an overlap between two sets. The thesis was designed in Python programming language.

Electroless selective deposition of silver nanoparticles
Salajková, Zita ; Bartoš, Miroslav (referee) ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (advisor)
Silver nanoparticles have a widespread use in the field of plasmonics. Since deposition of nanoparticles from colloidal solutions onto an exact location on a substrate is difficult, it seems advantageous to grow the nanoparticles in-situ. The presented work is focussed at selective deposition of~silver nanoparticles from colloidal solution or from solution reach of silver ions under assistance of focussed electron beams. Successful deposition could lead to growth of well defined nanostructures directly at the substrate surface. The effect of electron beam intensity to surface quality is studied (silica reduction, surface morphology) as well as effect of pH to particle properties. Outputs are used as a part in theoretical description of selective deposition and confirmed by following advanced experiments. The light assisted deposition and growth of nanostructures is described at the end of the presented work.

Graphene doping by low-energy electrons
Stará, Veronika ; Kunc, Jan (referee) ; Čechal, Jan (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá dotováním grafenu nízkoenergiovými elektrony. Na křemíkový substrát pokrytý vrstvou SiO2 jsou pomocí litograficky vyrobené masky nadeponované kovové kontakty z titanu a zlata. Grafen vyrobený pomocí metody depozice z plynné fáze je přenesen na substrát a slouží jako vodivé spojení kovových elektrod, které vytvářejí kolektor a emitor. Na křemík je ze spodu přivedeno napětí, které tak vytváří spodní hradlo. Takto vytvořený grafenový tranzistor je ozařován nízkoenergiovými elektrony, které mění dotování grafenu. Z polohy maxima v závislosti odporu grafenu na hradlovém napětí lze vyčíst typ dotování. Toto maximum udává napětí, při kterém Fermiho meze grafenu prochází Diracovým bodem v pásové struktuře grafenu. Velikost hradlového napětí, primární energie elektronového svazku a proud svazku jsou tři parametry, které mají velký vliv na změny dotování. Při ozařování transistoru dochází ke změně typu dotování právě tehdy, když odpor grafenu v závislosti na hradlovém napětí dosáhne maxima. Vývoj této změny je zkoumán pro různé energie a proudy primárního svazku v závislosti na hradlovém napětí i v čase. Typ dotování je také prozkoumán při zastavení ozařování v různých fázích smyčky hradlového napětí. Dopování grafenu nízkoenergiovými elektrony je popsáno v teoretickém modelu.

Rotary flash hardening with help of electron beam and laser radiation
Klusáček, Martin ; Jan, Vít (referee) ; Kouřil, Miloslav (advisor)
This master thesis deals with surface hardening of steels, especially with rotary flash hardening of 42CrMo4 steel (WNr 1.3563, ČSN 15142). In this method homogenous heating of whole surface occurs during a very fast rotation of the component. In the theoretical part of this thesis the most common methods of surface hardening are described, with focus on laser and electron beam technologies. In the experimental part special device for this application was constructed. Rotary flash hardening was done using different radiation source and experimantal device parameters. The hardened surface layer of maximal thickness of 0,7 mm and width of 5,6 mm was achieved using laser beam. Results with electron beam were way better, because this technology allows to control the distribution of power along the beam width in order to improve the width/thickness ratio of hardened layer. Using this method maximal layer thickness of 1,4 mm and width of 13,4 mm was achieved.
