Aplikace molekulární dynamiky v materiálovém výzkumu

Molekulární dynamika (MD) je počítačová simulační metoda, která popisuje pohyb atomů a molekul. Nejčastěji se trajektorie atomů a molekul určují numerickým řešením Newtonových pohybových rovnic pro systém interagujících částic, kdy síly mezi částicemi a jejich potenciální energie se často počítají pomocí meziatomových potenciálů nebo molekulárně mechanických silových polí. Metoda se používá především v chemii, fyzice, nauce…

Ph.D. thesis: Microscopic processes at the fatigue crack tip

Fatigue crack growth is a process that is described macroscopically by quantities such as the stress intensity factor, J-integral or plastic part of the J-integral. There are many models of crack propagation at the microscopic level that consider plastic deformation around the crack tip, but which differ in details. Advances in experimental methods allow more…

Photoswitches – graphene functionalization using chiral organic molecules

In the current project, we are particularly interested in the covalent attachment of small organic molecules to 2D materials[i] and the linking of the latter via the former. While in most of our projects, the organic molecules used for surface modification are commercially available or readily available from such, some projects require more extensive synthetic efforts.…

Influence of laser beam size and wavelength in the determination of LIDT

The laser-induced damage resistance of large optical components remains an important limitation for the maintenance costs, reliability, and further development of high-energy laser systems. Traditionally, the laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT) are performed on small samples and using small laser beam sizes (usually limited by the laser output), but these test results tend to be quite…
