Title: Dynamic change in optical response of nanostructures Author: Michal Vančík Institute: Institute of Physics of Charles University Supervisor: RNDr. Martin Veis, Ph.D., Institute of Physics of Charles University Abstract: At the present time, properties of thin layers and multilayered nanos- tructures are intensively reseacrched. Because of different properties than bulk materials, thin layers have found application in various fields and play a key role in many technologies. Nanostructures containing GdOxare intensively studied since their properties can be modified by voltage application. It is assumed, that this change is caused by migration of ions in the structure. This thesis conducts re- search on multilayered structures, whose optical response changes reversibly by applying voltage. In these samples, the change is likely caused by migration of hydrogen ions into the GdOx layer. The goal of this thesis is to describe the opti- cal properties of individual layers of the structure and to describe the dynamic change in optical properties. The measurements were conducted with the help of spectroscopic ellipsometry, which allowed in situ voltage application.
