This master’s thesis deals with the modelling of electronic properties of graphite crystal, which are measurable using a spectrometer based on high frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR for short) located in laboratories of CEITEC BUT. This is especially the band structure of graphite and its Landau levels. The theoretical part of the thesis describes key effects and connections from quantum mechanics and definitions of important terms from solid state physics, which are used to describe the crystalline structure of graphite and its electronic properties. Furthermore, the project describes the HFEPR spectrometer and its functional principle. In the practical part of the thesis, there are numerical models of the band structure of graphite and of its Landau levels and description of the preparation of a graphite sample for measurement. At the end of the practical part there is the analysis of measurements results, namely the cyclotron resonance and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, thanks to which it is possible to determine physical parameters of the sample, such as effective mass of charge carriers and fundamental frequency.
