This bachelor thesis examines optical and structural properties of transparent conductive oxides (TCO), particularly copper oxides enhanced with nitrogen atoms. Basics of TCO theory and techniques for measuring their parameters are explained, specifically ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy. Those are ...

This bachelor thesis focuses on the investigation of the electrical properties of copper oxide thin films doped with nitrogen (Cu-O, Cu-O-N) in two series of samples with different deposition conditions. Resistivity, charge carrier concentration and mobility were measured on square samples u...

Strongly thermochromic YSZ/V0.986W0.014O2/YSZ coatings (YSZ denotes Y-stabilized ZrO2) were prepared using a scalable sputter deposition technique on conventional soda-lime glass at a relatively low substrate surface temperature (Ts = 350 °C) and without any substrate bias voltage. The thermochro...

This work focuses on the preparation of Cu2O thin film materials using high power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) for photocatalytic applications with emphasis on photoelectrochemical water decomposition. First, the differences between HiPIMS and direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) are dis...

This master's thesis deals with the possibility of using the mechanical kit Spintronics, which models electrical circuits, within the framework of teaching physics. The introductory part is focused on the importance of models and analogies in teaching, their specific types and use....
