Epitaxní vrstvy oxidu ceru pro optoelektroniku / Epitaxial films of ceria for opto- electronics

This diploma thesis studies magneto-optical (MO) response of epitaxial thin films of Co-doped ceria. Thin films were characterized by XPS, LEED, STM, spectroscopic ellipsometry and measurement of MO activity. The work focuses on studying MO response of the films depending on film thickness, cobalt concentration, oxidation state of cerium and chemical state of cobalt. Spectra of MO response consist of low energy region where the MO activity is mediated by transitions from defect induced states to conduction band and high energy region where a peak of MO activity appears which we attribute to transitions from valence band to conduction band. In this work we qualitatively explain the effects of the physico- chemical states of the thin films on the structure of the obtained MO spectra, mainly on the appearance of the MO activity in the low energy region, and on the changes of the position of the MO peak. Compared to other preparation methods the epitaxial thin films allow achieving a shift of the MO peak in the direction of higher photon energy.
