Photoemission from Al(100) and (111): Experiment and ab initio theorySelected results

Owing to its simplicity aluminum is of fundamental importance for solid-state theory and thus has been a popular object of experimental and ab initio studies. Electronic structure of low index surfaces of aluminum has been theoretically addressed many times both within a semi-infinite crystal and within a supercell slab approach. A number of angle-resolved photoemission measurement have been reported, however, a consistent theory that would describe the observed energy distribution curves including the emission from surface states has not yet been published.  Celý text >>

Laboratory of preparation of optical materials and thermal analysisWorking groups

Research team: Karel Nitsch, Miroslava Rodová, Antonín Cihlář, Robert Král

Scope

• Searching for and preparation of materials - crystals, epitaxial layers, nanostructures and glasses - of high quality and purity with interesting optical properties and with their possible application in laser hosts in near IR range, as neutrons, gama and X-rays radiations detectors in industrial and medical application.
• Preparation of model crystalline systems for luminescence mechanism study.  Celý text >>

Laboratoř diamantových vrstev a uhlíkových nano-struktur (A. Kromka)Working groups

Core facilities of Laboratory of diamond thin films and carbon nanostructures consist of two unique microwave deposition systems Aixtron P6 and Roth & Rau AK 400. Both deposition systems represent a microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. At present time, the system Aixtron P6 is routinely used for growth of nanocrystalline diamond thin films (NCD) (Fig. 1).  Celý text >>
